Five lives lost in a brutal series of shootings across East St. Louis as authorities race to uncover the truth behind the violence that shattered a once-peaceful community.

Victims ranged from 21 to 74, including neighbors in the tight-knit Samuel Gompers Housing Development — where shock and grief run deep.
