On the evening of July 10, 2022, Laruth Jones, 34, was shot and killed outside Raqqa Mart in the Riverview neighborhood of St. Louis County, Missouri. Jones had just parked her Mercedes CLA 250 and, while standing near the store entrance about 5:00 p.m., confronted a masked person who had entered her vehicle. A gunfight followed; Jones was fatally struck, the assailant took her firearm and drove off in her Mercedes, leaving her mortally wounded in the parking lot.

Investigators later found Jones’s car abandoned and set on fire in an alley near East Linton Avenue and Emily Street. The suspect was identified as Loyse Dozier III, described as a man in his early twenties and linked to a string of violent carjackings in the area. Police arrested Dozier on August 10, 2022, after spotting him at a gas station; he discarded the stolen gun and a bag of fentanyl while fleeing and was taken into custody.

Does anyone have information about Jones, her routines, or about the Raqqa Mart parking lot on July 10 that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
