On the evening of May 13, 2019, 19-year-old Koreyion Brown was found shot on the 1500 block of Wellston Place in Wellston and was pronounced dead at the scene. North County Police Cooperative officers responded to a report of a person down around 6:30 p.m., and the Major Case Squad of Greater St. Louis took the lead on the homicide investigation.

Investigators focused on a primary suspect, 18-year-old Ke’Shuan Jones, and at-large warrants were issued charging him with first-degree murder, first-degree assault, and armed criminal action. Jones remained a fugitive for a period before being located and arrested in July 2019 in Mesa, Arizona, after a brief foot chase; he was then set for extradition back to Missouri. The investigation and subsequent legal process continued after his capture.

If anyone has information about Koreyion Brown, his movements that evening, or witnesses to the shooting, please come forward.
