St. Louis County police successfully apprehended Trevor Daley, the 20-year-old suspect involved in the deadly February shooting in Oakville that left two dead, including a 15-year-old. Daley was taken into custody in Warren County May 16.
Daley faces multiple charges, including two counts of second-degree murder, one count of assault, three counts of armed criminal action and delivery of 35 grams or less of marijuana or synthetic cannabinoid to a person under 17 years old and two years younger. His arrest warrant was initially issued Feb. 14 and was kept sealed to maintain the integrity of the investigation. The warrant was unsealed April 4 and Daley is being held on a $500,000 cash-only bond.
Daley is one of four individuals implicated in the fatal incident. Others charged include Tyler Coleman, 19, and Zachary Hough, 18, both facing murder and other charges. Bryce Mers, 18, of Fenton, is also charged with murder, armed criminal action and attempted robbery. Both Coleman and Hough were students in the Mehlville School District.
The victims, Collin Courtwright, 15, and Tyree Williams, 16, were fatally shot on Feb. 5 on Chalet Hill Drive in Oakville. According to a probable cause statement, Mers had arranged to trade marijuana cartridges for cash with Hough via Snapchat, with plans to rob Hough disclosed to others on the day of the shooting. The exchange turned deadly when Courtwright, arriving with Williams and Mers, attempted to rob Hough at gunpoint. This led to Daley opening fire, resulting in the deaths of Courtwright and Williams and the wounding of Mers.
