A St. Louis driver who killed a visiting teenager in a downtown crash will not serve prison time, after a judge on Thursday handed down a sentence of five years of probation for the June 15, 2025 collision. The case, tied to a chaotic rooftop-party fight in Downtown West, has kept neighbors and the victim’s family pressing for answers on late-night safety and enforcement.
According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the defendant, identified by police as George Edward McDonald III, received probation instead of a prison term. The Post-Dispatch report is based on court records and testimony from the sentencing hearing.
