ST. LOUIS — A man was arrested and charged with murder in connection with the shooting death of a 45-year-old man that charging document said was over a parking spot.
Troy Jackson, 28, was charged with first-degree murder, first-degree assault and two counts of armed criminal action in connection with the June 16 shooting death.
The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department responded to the call for a shooting at 7:13 p.m. on the 4700 block of Leduc Street, which borders the Kingsway East and The Ville neighborhoods.
Jermane Hicks, 45, was found lying on the curb with a gunshot wound to his head. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Hicks' wife said she saw the deadly shooting from inside her home. She said she heard her husband and Jackson in an argument about street parking before Jackson pulled out a gun and shot Hicks.
She said Jackson then tried to run away, but eventually returned to the home and forced his way inside. He fired the rest of his rounds at Hicks' wife while inside the home before running away.
Police said cameras inside the house recorded the struggle inside the house and a shot being fired into her livingroom archway.
On Monday, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department said the circuit attorney's office issued the charges against Jackson. He is being held without bond.
