On December 21, 2022, 19-year-old Darius Jackson was killed during a violent confrontation at a Speedie Gas Station in the Baden neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri. The incident began earlier that evening when a Hyundai Tucson was stolen from a St. Louis County residence and its owner, Demesha Coleman, used a GPS feature to locate the vehicle parked at 8880 North Broadway.

Coleman, accompanied by her teenage son and another armed man, went to the gas station about 10:30 p.m. Surveillance footage shows Coleman opening the passenger door of the Hyundai with a weapon raised while the second man approached the driver’s side. A chaotic exchange of gunfire followed. Jackson, a passenger in the stolen SUV, suffered fatal gunshot wounds to the torso and died at the scene. The shooting also killed 49-year-old Joseph Farrar, a bystander at a nearby pump, and left another man critically injured with a gunshot wound to the head.

Coleman was arrested and charged in connection with the shootings. What additional details can anyone who was at the station or who knew Darius share that might help clarify what happened that night?
