In the early morning of June 4, 2019, a shooting at the intersection of North Newstead Avenue and Elmbank Avenue in St. Louis’ Greater Ville neighborhood left a 35-year-old African American man dead. Officers arriving about 1:30 a.m. found the victim with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The victim has been identified as Jazs Johnson.

Homicide detectives collected evidence and interviewed witnesses in the area. Witness testimony reported the shooting was not random and placed specific individuals at the scene. In July 2019 prosecutors charged 29-year-old Michael Mayhorn and 37-year-old Donnell Cortez Landers with first-degree murder and armed criminal action; both were detained without bond as the case moved forward.

Are there readers who remember activity in the Greater Ville on June 4, 2019, or who have information about Jazs Johnson?
