A west St. Louis Resident has been fighting for three years to get the St. Louis Forestry Department to cut down a city owned tree in front of her house on Waterman Street.

The City inspected the tree in 2020 said it was dead and would be taken down in six to nine months. The tree is still standing three years later.

"I'm just disheartened and disappointed. I'm at a road block. I've talked to everyone that I can from the superintendent on up to the mayor's office and the buck just keeps getting passed," said Olivia Pruitt-Payne.

Pruitt-Payne worries about the tree falling on her house in a storm. She’s had some real reminders of the dangers along the way.

On Saturday morning, at the Calvary Cemetery in north St. Louis, a new monument was dedicated to mark Dred Scott's final resting place.

It normally gets a little cooler around the end of September in St. Louis, but the heat remains for at least a little while longer. That didn't stop many from attending Saturday's Zootoberfest at the Saint Louis Zoo.

An investigation is underway as police report an officer-involved shooting Saturday morning in south St. Louis.

Inmates Steven Timothy Scott and Jonathan Eugene Schmidt O’Dell both managed to escape from the jail, with Scott later turning himself to authorities.

Five people were killed and five were seriously injured after a truck overturned in central Illinois, causing a toxic substance to leak from its cargo and forcing the evacuation of hundreds of area residents, authorities said Saturday.

It's a busy weekend in St. Louis. Tens of thousands will visit the Gateway City this weekend for concerts, rivalry soccer and Adam Wainwright's final series as a Cardinal.

Police say a teen suspect just charged for a suburban gas station robbery made an astounding claim when arrested.

Adam Wainwright's big celebration is underway. Baseball fans from St. Louis and beyond will gather at Busch Stadium this season to honor a Cardinals legend.
