On the morning of December 22, 2020, 21-year-old Jameyah Ramsey was killed in St. Louis’ O’Fallon neighborhood when a planned drug deal turned into a robbery. Around 10 a.m. on the 2100 block of E. Alice Avenue, Ramsey’s boyfriend had arranged to sell narcotics. A 35-year-old man, identified as Eugene James Times, arrived with an accomplice, both masked and at least one armed, aiming to rob the boyfriend rather than complete a sale.

When the boyfriend tried to flee back into the home after being confronted outside, Times fired at him. The bullet missed the intended target and struck Ramsey in the back; she was pronounced dead at the scene. The boyfriend was also wounded. Surveillance footage captured the incident and, according to reports, Times later admitted his role and that the plan was to commit a robbery. Times was arrested on October 16, 2021, and charged with second-degree murder; court records note he had phoned the boyfriend minutes before the robbery and faced other pending charges at the time.

Does anyone have information about the events on E. Alice Avenue that morning or about Ramsey’s life in the neighborhood?
