On the evening of Sunday, June 12, 2016, 23-year-old Jessica Paxton was fatally shot during what police described as an attempted robbery in St. Louis’ Dutchtown neighborhood. She was in a vehicle in the 5000 block of Spring Avenue with a 25-year-old man and her 2-year-old son when three male suspects approached the car, brandished a firearm and announced a robbery. The driver sped away and, as the car fled, one of the assailants fired a single shot that struck Jessica. She was taken to a nearby hospital, where she died; her son and the male companion were not physically injured.

The investigation led to two arrests. Nineteen-year-old Davante Lindsey was charged on June 15, 2016. On June 22, 2016, 19-year-old Datwon Thompson was charged with first-degree murder and first-degree robbery in connection with Paxton’s death; Thompson also faced separate charges in the shooting death of John Jerome Moore three days earlier and was held on a $1 million cash-only bond.

Does anyone have information about that night or about the suspects’ movements in Dutchtown around June 12, 2016?
