Jermaine Ross, a 47-year-old African American barber, was found dead in his Cahokia, Illinois, home on October 3, 2018. A friend who came by for a haircut found the door slightly open and discovered Ross’s decomposed body. Authorities determined he died of a single gunshot wound and estimated he had been dead three to four days before being found.

The Cahokia Police Department, aided by the Major Case Squad of Greater St. Louis, investigated. There was no evidence of forced entry, which suggested Ross may have known his assailants. Two people were arrested in the investigation: Melinda Graves, 30, charged with first-degree murder and held on $500,000 bond, and Jasmine Madison, 25, charged with obstructing justice and destroying evidence with bond set at $20,000. The motive has not been made clear.

Does anyone who knew Jermaine or was in Cahokia in late September 2018 have information that could help clarify what happened?
