On the evening of June 16, 2020, a dispute over a street parking space in the Kingsway East neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri, ended in deadly violence on the 4700 block of Leduc Street. Jermaine ’Rico’ Hicks, 45, was unarmed when a neighbor produced a firearm and shot him in the head. Hicks collapsed on the curb and was pronounced dead at the scene.

After the shooting, witnesses and surveillance footage show the assailant chased Hicks’ wife into the couple’s home, forced entry, struggled with her and fired additional shots inside the living room. The woman was not struck, and the attacker fled after firing his weapon.

Police identified 28-year-old Troy W. Jackson Jr., a resident of the same block, as the suspect. He was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, assault and two counts of armed criminal action; a judge ordered him held without bail pending trial.

Did anyone in Kingsway East see or hear anything that night that could add detail to what happened?
