On the night of February 5, 2020, 22-year-old Jim Floyd (also known as Jim Lee Floyd III) was shot and killed in the Downtown West neighborhood of St. Louis. Officers were dispatched to the CityView Apartments in the 100 block of North 17th Street about 12:40 a.m. and found Floyd suffering from multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. A 20-year-old woman was also shot and taken to a hospital in critical condition.

Homicide detectives said the shooting appeared to follow an argument involving the victims and an unidentified suspect. As Floyd and the woman tried to walk away to de-escalate, the suspect allegedly opened fire and then fled on foot. No suspect description or arrest was released immediately, and the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Division kept the case active while asking the public for information.

Floyd left behind his parents, siblings, and a young son; his obituary noted ties to St. Louis, Illinois, and Ohio. Does anyone have information about that night or knew Jim Floyd and his family?
