Joel E. Wright, 41, was fatally shot during a domestic dispute in Ballwin, Missouri, on the night of Tuesday, September 22, 2015. Police say the shooting occurred at about 10 p.m. in the 400 block of Chamberlain Place after Wright went to the home where his ex-girlfriend was with another man. An altercation followed and the man at the residence told Wright to leave; police reports say Wright entered the home.

According to the shooter’s account to police, Wright reached behind his back and the man believed Wright was reaching for a weapon. The man then shot Wright; Wright received a fatal gunshot wound to the head. The St. Louis County Police Bureau of Crimes Against Persons opened an investigation and identified the shooter as a suspect, but no arrest or charges have been publicly announced and no final ruling on self-defense has been released.
