MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo. — The St. Louis area hockey community continues to process the shooting death of Colin Brown, a beloved CBC High School and Affton Americans hockey player. Meanwhile, a recently arrested suspect remains in custody.
Garrett Jordan, 26, was arrested in connection with Colin's death according to court documents filed Friday. He's facing multiple charges including first-degree murder.
One hockey mom Saturday told 5 On Your Side's Annie Krall, it was a life cut far too short, losing such a talented athlete at 16.
On Nov. 23, Colin was hit by stray gunfire riding home from a hockey game on Interstate 55 near Loughborough Avenue.
Court documents said evidence suggests shots were fired from multiple shooters, though the catalyst is unknown.
"You have theories of acting with another and also theories of transferred intent," St. Louis Circuit Attorney Gabe Gore said in a press conference on Friday.
Documents explain how police traced Jordan's phone location data to the scene of the shooting, though Gore said on Dec. 13 there may be more arrests.
"If you look at the probable cause statement, no where in the probable cause statement does it say [Jordan's] the shooter," Gore said.
A rogue bullet to the neck sitting beside his dad, retired Illinois State Police Lt. Col. Calvin Brown, would end Colin's life four days later.
Imperial hockey mom Tiffany Renfro remembered when she heard the news.
"I just, my heart dropped," Renfro told Krall at Centene Community Ice Center on Saturday.
Renfro is at youth games every weekend, including a double header on Dec. 14 as her eight-year-old son Bobby Renfro aspires to play hockey in high school like Colin or even beyond.
"You see all these little kids running around, all of them have futures," Renfro said. "It might not even be for hockey. It might be for something else. I didn't really know him except that he was a hockey player. But he wanted to go on and do other things. He had dreams and goals. To know that watching all these young hockey players, you don't know what's going to happen."
Don Arias, the director of Affton Americans U16 Hockey unpacked what's still ahead — especially considering Colin was part of their team along with playing at CBC.
"It's a long way to go in regards to the criminal justice side because it's got to go to court," Arias said. "We don't know what's going to happen there. I'm hopeful he'll be prosecuted for the crimes and the action against Colin."
"It was wrong place wrong time," Renfro said. "It's heartbreaking."
Police said they're not ruling out the possibility of more charges involving Jordan coming in the future.
On Friday, a judge with the 22nd Judicial Circuit in the city of St. Louis issued an arrest warrant for another man with felony drug charges filed against him on Nov. 20.
The judge said the warrant and revoked bond for this second man's case was a result of the murder charges against Jordan in connection to Colin's death.
