On the evening of July 26, 2012, 20-year-old Ronisha Jackson was among a group of people socializing near the edge of Gravois Park at Miami and Louisiana Avenues on St. Louis’s south side when multiple shots were fired into the crowd at about 9:15 p.m. Five people were hit; Ronisha, a mother of a one-year-old, and 16-year-old Kiera Tanter were critically wounded and later died at a hospital. The attack was described by police as carried out by unknown subjects who fled after firing numerous rounds.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation, but leads were scarce and no arrests were announced. The case remained listed as an open homicide with St. Louis Regional Crime Stoppers. The Jackson family later suffered another loss when Ronisha’s older brother, Ronald Jackson Jr., was shot and killed in April 2019 less than a mile from the park.

Did anyone who was in Gravois Park that night or who remembers activity near Miami and Louisiana Avenues come forward with information?
