On New Year’s Day 2018 a shooting in the Baden neighborhood of St. Louis left 32-year-old Antoine Jackson dead. Police responded to reports of a vehicle crash in the 1200 block of McLaran Avenue and found a sedan that had struck a parked car. The vehicle was riddled with bullets and officers discovered Jackson and another 32-year-old man, Jamar Griffin, both unconscious from gunshot wounds; emergency medical personnel pronounced them dead at the scene.

Investigators treated the incident as a targeted attack, noting the car appeared to have been fired on while in motion, causing the driver to lose control. Homicide detectives canvassed the neighborhood for witnesses and surveillance footage, but in the days after the shooting police had not identified suspects or released descriptions of possible shooters.

If anyone saw activity in the 1200 block of McLaran Avenue around midnight on January 1, 2018 or has information about this attack, please come forward.
