Jaz Loron Granderson, 27, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of October 16, 2017, in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood of South St. Louis. Granderson, an assistant football coach at De Smet Jesuit High School who had played at the University of Northern Iowa and Lindenwood University, went to the 300 block of Hill Street after connecting with someone on a dating app. He was ambushed in an apparent carjacking scheme, shot in the stomach, and later died at a hospital after collapsing while seeking help at a nearby residence. Witnesses heard the gunshot and a vehicle speeding away; the assailant fled in Granderson’s 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Investigators linked the killing to a pattern of armed carjackings in the area. Authorities say the dating app profile had been used as a lure by 23-year-old Jherrica Dixon, and that 25-year-old Kurt Wallace was identified as the gunman. Floyd Barber, 22, was also named as an accomplice in the ring of armed robberies. The suspects were indicted on federal carjacking and firearms charges.

Did anyone in the Mount Pleasant area see or hear anything that night, or have information about the car used in the getaway?
