On the evening of February 25, 2021, 32-year-old Antoine Jamil Johnson was shot during a confrontation near North Broadway and Grape Avenue in the Baden neighborhood of north St. Louis. Police responded to reports of gunfire just before 6:00 p.m. and found Johnson had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.

Someone attempted to rush Johnson to a hospital in a private vehicle rather than wait for emergency responders, but that vehicle was involved in a traffic collision at Kingshighway and Delmar Boulevard. Johnson was taken by emergency medical personnel to a nearby hospital and was pronounced dead there.

Officers later investigated the original shooting scene and took a 49-year-old man into custody; several firearms were recovered at the location. The police confirmed the arrest in connection with the homicide but did not immediately release formal charges or the alleged shooter’s identity in initial reports.

If anyone witnessed the shooting, the crash while transporting Johnson, or has information about the man taken into custody, please share what is known.
