On the evening of December 7, 2024, officers from the St. Louis County Police Department responded to a domestic disturbance at a home in the 10500 block of Emerald Ridge Avenue, near Midland Boulevard and Ashby Road. They found 38-year-old Timothy Aaron Dickerson suffering from a critical gunshot wound to the back; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say the shooting occurred during a heated argument between Dickerson and his girlfriend, who was identified as 37-year-old Porsche Moore. Moore was at the residence when officers arrived, called police herself, and told detectives she had shot Dickerson. She was taken into custody, the weapon was recovered, and the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office charged her with second-degree murder and armed criminal action. A judge set bond at $250,000 cash-only.

Dickerson’s family was arranging memorial services at a Saint Louis church later in December. If anyone has information about the events that night or knew Timothy, please share what you know with investigators.
