On the morning of November 7, 2018, 38-year-old Joseph Lawrence Titchen was found shot and later died on a neighbor’s front porch on Leisure Lane in St. Louis County. Police say Joseph discovered an intruder, 24-year-old Sean Buchannon Jr., inside his home around 11:20 a.m.; Buchannon reportedly was gathering items in the living room when Joseph confronted him and was shot there. Joseph then ran to a neighbor’s house seeking help but succumbed to his wounds.

Investigators found another man inside the residence with at least one gunshot wound; that man was taken to hospital in critical condition. Multiple weapons were recovered at the scene. Authorities charged Sean Buchannon Jr. with second-degree murder, armed criminal action, and second-degree burglary and held him on a $250,000 cash-only bond. Police also released surveillance video showing a woman running from the area around the time of the homicide, though her involvement was not explained.

If anyone knew Joseph or saw activity on Leisure Lane that morning, please share what was seen.
