In the fall of 2014, in Ferguson, Missouri, a 56-year-old man named Robin Poindexter was fatally shot. The incident occurred on the evening of October 8, 2014. Poindexter, also known as 'Jerry,' was found by police in the parking lot of the Northwinds Apartments complex. He had sustained at least one gunshot wound. Emergency services transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The investigation into the death of the male victim led Ferguson police to identify a
suspect. A little over a week after the shooting, authorities announced the arrest of a St. Louis man in connection with the homicide. The suspect, Jerome L. Williams Jr., who was 21 years old at the time, was taken into custody.
Following the arrest, the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney's Office filed charges against Williams. He was charged with second-degree murder and armed criminal action. A cash-only bond of $250,000 was set. The investigation suggested that Poindexter and Williams were acquainted and that the shooting was the result of a dispute between them. At the time of the arrest, police stated that the investigation was ongoing. Further details regarding the progression of the case through the legal system, including a trial or conviction, are not readily available in the public record.
