Jerome Fleweller, 66, was found dead in St. Louis on March 8, 2017, after police responded to reports of a vehicle crash. Investigators discovered Fleweller inside the crashed car with fatal gunshot wounds; those wounds were determined to be the cause of death rather than the collision.

Detectives later classified the shooting as justified, indicating the person who fired was found to have acted in self-defense or lawfully. Because of that determination, no murder charges were filed and the case was closed without prosecution. The death is recorded in homicide statistics but was distinguished from criminal murders in local reports.

Are there readers who knew Fleweller or who recall the scene or circumstances around the March 8 incident?
