On the afternoon of October 9, 2020, 32-year-old Laquinn Jefferson was fatally shot while driving in Jennings, Missouri. St. Louis County Police from the Jennings Precinct responded just before 1:00 p.m. to the intersection of Minnie Avenue and Wilborn Drive and found Jefferson unresponsive in the driver’s seat of a vehicle that had struck a parked car. He had sustained at least one gunshot wound.

Investigators determined the shooting likely began a few blocks away near Wilborn Drive and Emma Avenue. Police believe Jefferson was driving northbound on Wilborn when he was wounded, lost control, and crashed. Emergency responders took him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. The Bureau of Crimes Against Persons led the investigation and asked for witnesses to come forward.

Jefferson was a father of two with a third child expected at the time of his death and was remembered by family and friends as a go-getter dedicated to his community. No suspects or arrests had been announced and detectives continued to investigate. Does anyone who was in the Jennings area that afternoon have information that could help?
