Domonick T. Owens, 29, was shot and killed in St. Louis, Missouri, on the evening of June 7, 2026. The shooting reportedly occurred during a heated argument with his former girlfriend, Patricia Jones. Owens was struck multiple times and later died from his wounds.

Patricia Jones called authorities after the shooting and was arrested after investigators say evidence on her phone included prior threats and a recording of the incident. She was charged with second-degree murder and armed criminal action and held in St. Louis County on a $250,000 cash-only bond. Owens is survived by two young daughters; the account describes him as protective and good-humored.
