On the evening of October 25, 2020, 20-year-old Jerry Chambers Jr. was killed in the 8400 block of Plaza Rock Court in St. Louis County, Missouri. The shooting happened about 8:46 p.m. during what investigators say was a marijuana transaction. Chambers was shot twice after a man at the driver’s side window produced a firearm; one bullet struck Chambers in the neck. A passenger in Chambers’ vehicle was also shot in the hip and survived with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police say Jamond Welch, then 20, arranged the meeting and got into the back seat, while 22-year-old Montez Smith approached the driver’s side and allegedly fired. The surviving passenger identified Welch as the person who had entered the back seat just before the shooting. Welch was arrested January 8, 2021, and Smith was arrested February 21, 2021. Both were charged with second-degree murder, first-degree attempted robbery, and armed criminal action; bond was set at $500,000 cash-only.

Are there witnesses or local residents who remember activity in the Plaza Rock Court area that night who could add details?
