941

STL scumbag Steven Burks set up a meeting with a man at Popeye’s Chicken, shot his victim several times and then took his pants and shoes as only a true scumbag would.

Burks, 25, of the 3900 block of North 20th, was charged Friday with first-degree murder, first-degree robbery and two counts of armed criminal action in the shooting death of Iran Turner, 36.

A witness told police that Burks arranged a meeting with Turner at Popeye’s restaurant at 6301 West Florissant Avenue about 7:15 p.m. From the driver’s seat of a car, Burks shot Turner in the back seat, hitting him in his leg.

Burks then got out of the car and shot Turner several times more before removing Turner’s shoes and pants. Burks then drove off.

Turner died at Barnes-Jewish Hospital at 7:50 p.m. that day. Police haven’t given a motive for the killing.

Bail for Burks was set at $750,000 cash-only.
