Jayla Nicole Farr, 21, was fatally shot on the evening of May 2, 2023, in north St. Louis County. The shooting took place in the 10400 block of Halls Ferry Road after a fight erupted among several people outside a residence. Police arrived around 9:30 p.m. and found Jayla deceased outside the home. An 18-year-old woman and a 14-year-old boy were also wounded but suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

According to reports, the altercation was connected to disagreements over a high school prom party held the previous weekend. During the fight, described as involving young women, Jayla reportedly told the gunman to put his weapon away, saying it was a female fight; shortly afterward he opened fire, killing her and then firing multiple rounds toward the house. Police later identified 19-year-old Emonne Dillon as a suspect and charged him with first-degree murder, four counts of armed criminal action and other related charges.

Does anyone have information about Jayla, the people present that night, or the events that led up to the shooting?
