On the night of Tuesday, May 12, 2015, officers were called to the 3100 block of Goodfellow Boulevard in St. Louis’s Wells Goodfellow neighborhood after reports of a shooting near Barrett Brothers Park. Responding officers found 20-year-old Markus Jones unresponsive in the street with gunshot wounds to his chest and lower back. Emergency personnel pronounced him dead at the scene shortly after arrival.

A motorist driving south on Goodfellow reported hearing gunfire and seeing Jones stumble before collapsing onto the roadway; other witnesses also provided initial accounts. Detectives continued the investigation for months and in April 2016 prosecutors charged 20-year-old Eric Ivory and 23-year-old Darryon Rowell with one count of murder and one count of robbery in connection with Jones’s death. Both men were in custody on unrelated matters and a judge ordered them held without bond.

If anyone saw activity on Goodfellow Boulevard that night or has information the police might not yet have, please share what is known.
