Lamont Jones was a 33-year-old father from St. Louis, remembered by loved ones as full of life and known to friends as Westside and Lil Sean. On the evening of Tuesday, April 9, 2019, he became involved in a physical altercation with another man in the Lewis Place neighborhood, in the 4500 block of McMillan Avenue. According to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, the dispute escalated when the other man produced a gun. Investigators report that Jones was unarmed and was attempting to walk away when he was shot; he died from his injuries.

Homicide detectives identified 26-year-old Carlton Jones, who lived on the same block, as a suspect. Police said the two men were not related and that Carlton Jones was taken into custody and admitted to shooting Lamont during the fight. Prosecutors charged Carlton Jones the following day with first-degree murder and armed criminal action.
