ST. LOUIS • Brandi Hill had a 9-month-old daughter, a hot car and a heart full of hope.

“I want to be loved,” the 21-year-old wrote on Facebook recently. “I want a happy family I want all the good stuff.”

But her short life was taken Sunday night in an apparent carjacking on Washington Avenue in downtown St. Louis.

Hill, of O’Fallon, Mo., had written on Facebook about meeting friends in Fairground Park. Hours later, about 10:30 p.m., she was driving her red 2015 Dodge Challenger east on Washington with her daughter and a friend, who is pregnant.

Police said the car was stopped in traffic for a signal near 11th Street when two men walking west approached and demanded the car keys.

They dragged the passenger out through the right side door, police said, then shot Hill before one of them drove a short distance to 11th Street and dumped her out.

The second robber climbed in through the passenger side window.

They drove away, with the baby girl still inside.

Hill, left wounded in the middle of Washington, died at a hospital. Her friend was reported to be in stable condition at a hospital.
