St. Louis County police officers responded to a call about a one-car crash near the interchange of Interstates 270 and 55. When someone approached the car, Kershaw held him at gunpoint with a shotgun and handgun and demanded his car. Kershaw then carjacked a different car before heading south on I-55, police said. Officers spotted Kershaw in the second stolen car and tried to stop the vehicle. Police used stop sticks to pop the car's tires. After a gunfight, officers eventually approached the bullet-riddled car and found Kershaw dead.
