Michael Maxon, 22, of Castle Point, Missouri, was shot and killed on the evening of Sunday, June 8, 2025, in the parking lot of the Elite Supermarket in the 8300 block of North Broadway in the Baden neighborhood of St. Louis. Shortly after 5:00 p.m. Maxon was inside a vehicle with an 8-year-old girl and a 25-year-old man when a disturbance occurred and a suspect approached and opened fire. Surveillance footage reviewed by investigators reportedly shows the assailant firing into the car, opening the door, dragging Maxon out, and shooting him again. Emergency responders pronounced Maxon dead at the scene; the girl suffered a graze wound to her wrist and the 25-year-old man was found a block away with a gunshot wound to his leg. Both survivors were taken to hospital in stable condition.

Within days, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department arrested 25-year-old Tavon L. Jackson, who prosecutors charged with first-degree murder, two counts of first-degree assault and three counts of armed criminal action; police allege Jackson was the gunman seen on surveillance video. A second man, 28-year-old Darnell D. Westmoreland, was also charged, with reports saying he stood near the corner of the supermarket pointing a firearm at the vehicle during the shooting. Jackson was ordered held without bond as legal proceedings began.

Are there witnesses or anyone with dashcam or nearby surveillance footage who can add details about what happened that evening?
