On the evening of January 16, 2023, a shooting in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood of St. Louis left 26-year-old Mahogany Jones mortally wounded. The shooting occurred about 8:30 p.m. in the 4300 block of California Avenue. Jones was later found a short distance away in the parking lot of a Conoco gas station at 4355 South Broadway and was taken to a hospital, where she died.

In the months after the killing, St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department detectives developed surveillance images of a person of interest and released those photos publicly in March 2023 to ask for tips. As of the most recent reports, no one has been publicly identified in connection with the murder or charged in the case, and detectives continue to investigate.

If anyone has information about Mahogany Jones, the shooting on January 16, 2023, or the person shown in the released surveillance images, please contact the St. Louis Homicide Division.
