A St. Louis man is jailed on $150,000 cash-only bond after being accused of firing a bullet through a wall, killing a man in a neighboring apartment.
Prosecutors have charged 43-year-old Kevin Thomas with involuntary manslaughter, armed criminal action and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Authorities allege that Thomas shot 34-year-old Charles Petty in the head about 8:30 a.m. Thursday. Petty died early Friday.
