On April 18, 2017, Jarvis M. Jenkins, 20, was shot in the chest during a confrontation with a man described as his friend in Hanley Hills, a suburb of St. Louis County, Missouri. The encounter began as a fistfight and escalated when the other man produced a firearm. Jenkins was taken to a local hospital in critical condition and died there on April 24, 2017, six days after the shooting.

Authorities treated the incident as a homicide arising from a personal dispute between the two acquaintances rather than a random act. The case record includes an eventual arrest, prosecution and a 20-year prison sentence for the shooter tied to Jenkins’s death.

If anyone knew Jarvis, the circumstances of that April 18 confrontation, or has information that could clarify what happened, please share what you know.
