On the morning of July 4, 2022, 32-year-old Bryant Jones was driving in Northwoods, a suburb in St. Louis County, Missouri, when his vehicle ran off the road and struck a street sign on the 3000 block of Fairchild Avenue. Northwoods police arrived about 12:17 a.m. and found Jones suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to a local hospital but later died of his injuries.

St. Louis County Police Crimes Against Persons detectives took over the investigation and determined the shooting grew out of a meeting arranged over social media to conduct a drug transaction. Investigators say the other party attempted to rob Jones and shot him before fleeing the scene.

A suspect has been identified in connection with the slaying. Does anyone who lived in Northwoods or used those online marketplaces around that time have information that could help clarify what happened to Bryant Jones?
