Jordan E Taynor, a 33-year-old man from Carlinville, Illinois, was fatally assaulted on March 19, 2016, at the Central West End MetroLink platform in St. Louis. An argument with an unknown man ended when the assailant punched Taynor; he fell, struck his head on the concrete platform, and died after two weeks on life support on April 1, 2016. Family members reported him missing after he failed to make his daily call to his father, which led investigators to locate him at the hospital.

Surveillance video recorded the assault and shows a man striking Taynor in the head, but no arrests have been made. Witnesses described the suspect as a Black male with a light complexion, medium-length dreadlocks, about 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt, white t-shirt, dark pants and shoes, and bearing a distinctive mark near or under one eye that could be a birthmark or tattoo. He was seen walking away toward a bus depot.

Anyone who was at the Central West End MetroLink on March 19, 2016, or who recognizes the man in this description is asked to come forward with information.
