On March 30, 2020, a Monday afternoon shooting in the Baden neighborhood of St. Louis claimed the life of 25-year-old Demario Isaiah Jordan. Officers from the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department responded after reports of gunfire and found a chaotic scene with multiple victims. Jordan, a local resident also known by the nickname Rio, suffered critical gunshot wounds and died despite emergency medical efforts. A second man was also struck and injured.

Homicide detectives opened an investigation at the scene and in the follow-up. Local reports say police identified and took a suspect into custody shortly after the shooting, though initial accounts did not provide the suspect’s name or the formal charges. Anyone who knew Demario, witnessed the shooting, or has information that could help the investigation is urged to come forward.
