Jermaine Terrill Jones was 29 when he was shot dead on October 19, 2014, while standing outside with friends in Berkeley, a suburb on the St. Louis–Ferguson border. Born January 6, 1985, to Dorothy Dixson and Gerald Jones, he attended Central Missouri State University and left behind a young son, his parents, and several siblings.
An unknown male approached the group and opened fire, killing Jermaine and wounding three others before fleeing the scene. Witnesses described the shooter only as a male; no immediate arrests were reported and police asked the public for help identifying him.
Hours earlier, Jermaine’s older sister Margaree Dixson, 35, was found shot to death less than a mile away. Authorities treated the two killings as separate incidents, but the family was left mourning two siblings in a single day.
If anyone knew Jermaine’s routines, who was with him that day, or has information about the shooter, please share what is known.
