On the night of December 12, 2014, 25-year-old Brittany Jefferson was shot and killed inside her apartment at the Oak Park Apartments on the 11100 block of Riaza Square in St. Louis County, Missouri. Neighbors reported that a man forcibly kicked in her door around midnight, an argument was heard inside, then gunfire. Jefferson was found deceased in a bedroom when St. Louis County Police arrived after the initial burglary-in-progress call had been upgraded to a shooting.

Four young children who were in the apartment at the time were not physically injured but were present when the shooting occurred. Witnesses and police described the intruder as a male who had broken in; officers said they were investigating whether the attack was targeted or a burglary that turned deadly. No arrest was reported at the time and investigators appealed for information.

If anyone knew Brittany, saw suspicious activity at the Oak Park Apartments that night, or has information about the man who kicked in the door, please come forward.
