RICHMOND HEIGHTS • A man from Jennings has been charged with first-degree murder after he allegedly shot an ordained minister outside a Richmond Heights bowling alley Friday night.

The victim, 45, who has not been identified by Richmond Heights police, was killed in his car about 11:20 p.m. after a fight ended inside Tropicana Lanes, 7960 Clayton Road. Police said that it appeared “from the investigation that the victim was not involved in the original altercation and was an innocent bystander.”

According to police, when the people who had been involved in the argument left the building, Donté Lorenzo McGary, 24, retrieved a gun and shot a few rounds into the air. He then fired at the victim, who was sitting in his car, hitting him, police said. He also fired at another patron and missed.

McGary was arrested at the scene and the gun was recovered, police said. The victim died at a hospital.

The victim’s wife and friends identified him as Demetrius L. Stewart, who was out with his wife and other couples for a date night when he was killed.
