MISSOURI - A 23-year-old man has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with a brazen sidewalk killing of a man in St Louis, Missouri, on Monday, the police said, an episode captured by a witness on video that was widely shared on social media.
The suspect, Deshawn Thomas, was arrested as he tried to enter a nearby library a few hours after he allegedly fired one shot at the head of a man who was sitting on a kerb in downtown St Louis, detective Marco Christlieb of the St Louis Police Department said in a brief interview on Tuesday night. The shooting, which occurred around 10am, shocked many people who saw the roughly 45-second video clip of the encounter online.
In that video, which Mr Christlieb confirmed shows the shooting, a man in yellow points a gun at a man sitting on a kerb in the 700 block of North Tucker Boulevard.The police said that Thomas and the victim had been fighting that morning at a nearby Shell petrol station before the shooting.
