On the early morning of September 30, 2022, 18-year-old Corion Love was shot in downtown St. Louis and later died at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. Investigators say Love and an accomplice were driving a Nissan Murano in the 1100 block of Lucas Avenue and stopped near a parked Dodge Ram truck. As Love allegedly tried to climb through the truck’s window, the truck’s owner, 40‑ish-year-old Arnaud Jones, observed from a loft apartment above the street and fired multiple rounds from his window toward the pair, striking Love in the back and wounding his companion.

Love was taken to the hospital in a private vehicle and pronounced dead shortly before 9:00 a.m.; he was unable to give a statement. Jones later admitted firing four shots from his loft and said he intended warning shots and did not realize he had hit anyone, and he could not recall where he disposed of the firearm. Charges against Jones have been made and refiled, including second-degree and then first-degree murder and related counts, and proceedings in the case have been ongoing.

If anyone saw the incident on Lucas Avenue that morning or has information about what happened, please share details with investigators.
