On the evening of August 17, 2022, two men were found shot to death inside a vehicle in the Ville neighborhood of St. Louis. Officers responded about 6:45 p.m. to a shooting near Garfield Avenue and North Newstead Avenue and located a car in the 4300 block of Garfield Avenue with bullet holes in the windshield and driver’s side door. Both occupants, identified as 20-year-old Jeremiah Jackson and 30-year-old Montel Sanders, had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene.
