BELLFONTAINE NEIGHBORS, Mo. – Investigators say they’ve identified the trio who attacked White Castle employees earlier this week.
According to a spokesperson for the Bellefontaine Neighbors Police Department, the assault occurred around 4:50 a.m. Sunday at the White Castle in the 10700 block of Bellefontaine Road.
Police said the incident unfolded over an incorrect order. Three customers—Trayonna Howell, 26; Melody Anderson, 30; and Christian Parker, 20—began arguing with employees at the drive-thru window, which escalated into a fight.
Howell, Anderson, and Parker then illegally entered the business and struck the employees, police said. The fight spilled into the parking lot, where Parker took out a firearm and struck an employee in their head.
The trio fled in a white 2015 Chevrolet Equinox with Missouri license plates XK4Z8L.
Police said the suspects should be considered armed and dangerous. They’re known to frequent Alton, Illinois, as well as areas in north St. Louis County, including Dellwood, Blackjack, Moline Acres, and north St. Louis City.
Anyone with information on the suspects’ whereabouts is asked call 636-529-8210 (ask for the Bellefontaine Neighbors P.D.) or CrimeStoppers at 866-371-TIPS.
