On the afternoon of May 14, 2022, 16-year-old Kyierah Camille Jeffries was shot in the stomach in the Carondelet neighborhood of St. Louis. She had been with family earlier in the day but became separated from the group and ended up in a vehicle with a man who, according to family accounts, shot her before fleeing. Emergency responders found her on the 5900 block of Minnesota Avenue around 3:45 p.m.; she was drifting in and out of consciousness and was taken to a hospital, where she later died.

Investigators linked the shooting to 22-year-old Graylon Lindsey, using cellphone location data to place him near the scene. He was also connected to the killing of another woman, Arriell Dixon, which had occurred just over a week earlier; in that case the victim called 911 and described a vehicle before dying. A firearm found in Lindsey’s possession was determined to be the weapon used in both shootings.

If anyone has information about Kyierah that could help the community or investigators, please share what is known.
