Jermaine Jones, 29, was fatally shot on October 19, 2014, in the St. Louis suburb of Berkeley. He was standing with a group of friends on a street when an unknown gunman approached and opened fire; Jones sustained fatal gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead. Three other men who were with him were wounded but survived the attack.

The shooting came hours after Jones’s older sister, 35-year-old Margaree Dixson, was found shot to death the night before about a half-mile away near Lillian Avenue and Plover Avenue in St. Louis; she suffered multiple gunshot wounds to her head, chest, and arms. Investigators treated the two homicides as separate incidents and described both perpetrators as unidentified males, asking the public for information. Does anyone have information about either killing or remember seeing anything in that Berkeley or Lillian Avenue area on October 18–19, 2014?
