On May 7, 2022, a domestic dispute in the Academy neighborhood of St. Louis ended in the fatal shooting of 30-year-old Tyron Madison. Officers arrived at the 5200 block of Ridge Avenue around 11:15 p.m. and found Madison with a critical gunshot wound to the chest; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead shortly after the shooting.

The argument reportedly began over car keys and escalated. A woman at the scene was also shot in the foot; her injury was non-life-threatening and she was expected to recover. Detectives identified the shooter as 29-year-old Jalen L. Jarrett, described as the brother of Madison’s romantic partner, and charged him with multiple felonies including second-degree murder, first-degree domestic assault, armed criminal action, and tampering with a witness and a victim.

Madison’s family and the community memorialized him online as a cherished son and father whose life was cut short by gun violence. If anyone knew Tyron or witnessed the events that night, please share information that could help clarify what happened.
