In the late summer of 2018, a promising life was tragically cut short in Jefferson City, Missouri. Charon Session, a 23-year-old male, was killed by gunfire on August 27, 2018. The incident left the community in shock and his family seeking answers. Session was remembered as a vibrant young man with a bright future, a student at Lincoln University and a talented choreographer who brought light into any room he entered.
The investigation into his death led police to identify a suspect,
Alfred Chisholm Jr. What began as a search for a person of interest soon solidified into a formal accusation, and Chisholm was charged in connection with the fatal shooting. The legal process that followed would span several years, as the judicial system worked to unravel the events of that tragic day and deliver justice for Charon Session.
In January 2023, the case against Alfred Chisholm Jr. came to a close in a Cole County courtroom. After legal proceedings, Chisholm was found guilty of second-degree murder and armed criminal action for his role in Session's death. While the verdict brought a degree of closure, the family's journey through grief and the court system was a long and arduous one, marked by their patient and understanding presence throughout the pendency of the case. The final sentencing hearing was scheduled for April of that year, marking the concluding chapter in a painful saga for all involved.
