Joseph Quran Lacombe, a 26-year-old resident of Saint Charles, Missouri, was fatally shot on the evening of June 1, 2019. Officers responded to a report of a shooting around 8:30 p.m. in the 2500 block of Chesstal Street and found Joseph lying in the street with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Police identified the suspect as Joseph’s 27-year-old cousin, Lamont Lacombe, who remained at the scene. Investigators say the shooting followed a heated verbal argument over a $45 debt and a dispute about personal items; officers recovered a .40 caliber Smith and Wesson handgun at the location. Lamont Lacombe was arrested without incident, confessed during an interview, and was charged with second-degree murder and held on a $100,000 cash-only bond. Family and friends described the cousins as having been very close growing up.

Does anyone have details about the events leading up to the argument or knew Joseph and can help fill gaps for investigators?
