St. Louis, MO – March 27, 2025: A St. Louis woman, Eryn Nichole, is recovering after a terrifying and life-threatening encounter that unfolded during what was supposed to be a simple phone sale. Her family, along with the entire community, is in shock as they try to come to terms with the events that unfolded on the night of March 26, 2025.

Eryn, a beloved member of her community, arranged to meet with Taneisha Sanders through the Facebook group “Jungle Hustle BritBratt Group 2024” to sell her phone. The exchange started like any other, but what happened next has left her family deeply concerned and grieving. What should have been a routine transaction quickly turned into a life-or-death situation that has left the family searching for answers and desperately hoping for justice.

The Moment Everything Went Wrong: A Simple Phone Deal Turned Deadly

On March 26, 2025, Eryn Nichole, a mother and dedicated worker from St. Louis, arranged to meet with Taneisha Sanders to complete the sale of her phone. The transaction was set up through a local Facebook marketplace group where people often buy and sell items in the area. Eryn had no reason to be wary as she met Taneisha in person, believing it to be just another simple exchange, and everything seemed to be going smoothly.

However, just as the deal was about to be finalized, an unexpected turn of events unfolded that would change Eryn’s life forever. According to Eryn’s family and those who witnessed the scene, as she and Taneisha were about to complete the sale, a car suddenly pulled up, and an unknown man jumped out. The man aggressively approached Eryn, demanding that she hand over the phone. He seemed determined, and Eryn, realizing the situation was escalating quickly, made the wise decision to hand over the phone to avoid further conflict.

What happened next, however, was far from ordinary. Instead of simply walking away with the phone, the man’s aggression intensified. Eryn, in a moment of quick thinking, used her other phone to take a picture of the man’s car’s license plate, hoping to capture any evidence that might help her later. But that decision would prove to be catastrophic. As soon as the man realized what she had done, he became enraged.

A Dangerous Chase: Eryn Running for Her Life

In the blink of an eye, the situation turned from a robbery into something much more terrifying. The man, now furious that his license plate had been captured, began to chase Eryn. She ran, desperate to escape the increasingly dangerous individual. Fear gripped her as she sprinted for her life, knowing that if she didn’t escape, her survival could be in jeopardy.

Eryn, who had always prided herself on her resilience and determination, ran toward her workplace, hoping to find safety inside. But even there, the danger followed her. The man pursued her relentlessly, shooting at her as she ran. Gunshots rang out in broad daylight, echoing through the area as bystanders looked on in horror. The chase continued, with Eryn narrowly evading several shots that came too close for comfort.

It was at this moment that the situation escalated into a true nightmare, not only for Eryn but also for innocent bystanders. The chaos didn’t end with the gunfire aimed at Eryn. The man’s reckless actions resulted in multiple innocent victims being caught in the crossfire.

Innocent Bystanders Caught in the Crossfire: The Aftermath

As Eryn sprinted for her life, desperate to escape the gunman, the violence spilled over into the surrounding area. At least one innocent bystander’s vehicle was struck by gunfire, leaving the car damaged but the person fortunately unharmed. But the carnage didn’t stop there. A random house was hit by bullets, causing property damage and leaving homeowners in a state of shock. The most harrowing moment, however, came when an innocent person, later identified as “SB,” was nearly killed in the chaos. SB was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, and the reckless shooter’s aim almost claimed yet another victim.

In the wake of the shooting, the streets of St. Louis became a scene of confusion and fear as people tried to comprehend the magnitude of the violence. The man who had chased Eryn, firing shots as he went, disappeared into the night, leaving the community in disarray and law enforcement scrambling to piece together what had just transpired.
