Jeremiah DeVante Latimore, 22, was shot and killed on the afternoon of March 8, 2024, in the Velda City area of North St. Louis County. The confrontation began at a convenience store in the 8300 block of Jennings Station Road, where Latimore became involved in an altercation with several people who had arrived in separate vehicles. Latimore ran a short distance farther and collapsed near West Florissant Avenue and Gaylord Drive; he was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after 1:30 p.m.

After the shooting two other men, Patrick Towns and Anthony Bell, arrived at the scene. Police say Towns removed a firearm from Latimore’s body and fled in a vehicle driven by Bell; both were later arrested and charged with tampering with physical evidence and stealing a firearm. Investigators used license plate information and phone records to locate Towns, and Bell admitted to driving away after the theft.

Are there witnesses or anyone with additional surveillance from the Jennings Station Road or West Florissant Road area who can help fill in what happened that afternoon?
