A domestic disturbance in a Fenton neighborhood on the evening of February 29, 2024, ended in a fatal shooting. Officers from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office responded to a Matthews Drive residence where 39-year-old Jarvis Person was reported to be assaulting a 37-year-old woman. A 20-year-old man known to both residents and identified by neighbors as the woman’s son intervened and shot Person once.

Person was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead. The 20-year-old was detained at the scene and was reported to be cooperating while investigators consulted with the Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office about potential charges. The shooter’s identity has not been released publicly and there have been no later reports on whether charges were filed.

If anyone witnessed the incident or knew the people involved, can you share information that might help clarify what happened that night?
