Michael Jackson Jr., 26, was shot and killed in St. Louis on April 24, 2015. He was experiencing homelessness and was in a parking lot near the City Museum in the middle of the afternoon when an argument with another individual turned physical. Jackson tried to flee but was shot once in the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene near 14th and Lucas Streets during a busy day with a large event at America’s Center nearby.

Police said the two men knew one another. Witnesses and surveillance from the Real Time Crime Center helped detectives piece together what happened. Authorities released a description of the suspected shooter as a Black male, thin build, about 5 feet 10 inches, with long braids; the man was seen walking away and getting into a white vehicle believed to be a Ford Focus. No public announcement of an arrest or charges has been made.

If anyone was at the City Museum parking area or the nearby event that afternoon and saw the altercation, the vehicle, or the man described, please share what was seen.
