On the evening of January 27, 2020, 44-year-old Alesha Brown was killed in a shooting during a violent intrusion at an apartment on Midland Boulevard in St. Louis County. Police were called about 9:50 p.m.; officers found two women with gunshot wounds. Brown was pronounced dead at the scene and a 41-year-old woman was taken to hospital with injuries.

Investigators say the incident began with a kidnapping. Two men, identified as Leron Harris and Dwayne Harris, allegedly abducted a man and forced him to the Midland Boulevard apartment intending to rob the occupants. During the robbery both women were shot, and the surviving victim later identified one of the assailants as Leron Harris.

The St. Louis County Police Bureau of Crimes Against Persons arrested Leron Harris, then 48, on May 15, 2020, and charged him with first-degree murder and multiple related felonies. Dwayne Harris, then 33, was charged in July 2020 with first-degree murder and other offenses. Both were held without bond. Does anyone have information about Alesha or the people involved that could help clarify what happened that night?
