Jeremy West, a 39-year-old father of two from Florissant, Missouri, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of Thursday, February 1, 2024, in the North Pointe neighborhood of St. Louis. Officers found West lying in the street near the intersection of Mimika and Gladys avenues after a report of a shooting just before 2:30 a.m.; he had been shot in the head and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators recovered video from a nearby camera that police say shows a silver SUV pull up and stop near West. A passenger, identified by police as 47-year-old Greg E. Burns, allegedly called to West; West walked toward the vehicle and Burns is accused of exiting and shooting him multiple times. Witnesses later identified Burns as the shooter.

On February 8, 2024, the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office charged Greg E. Burns with first-degree murder and armed criminal action; he was taken into custody and is being held at the St. Louis Justice Center without bond. Does anyone in the North Pointe area have information that could help clarify what happened that night?
