In the afternoon hours of September 2, 2022, a young man's life was cut tragically short on a sidewalk in St. Louis. Armon Paris, a 19-year-old male, was discovered lying on his back in the 1400 block of Park Avenue shortly before 3:30 p.m. He had been shot, and despite the prompt response of emergency medical services, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The St.
Louis Metropolitan Police Department's Homicide Division immediately launched an investigation into the violent death of the teenager. The case progressed over the following weeks as detectives worked to piece together the events that led to the fatal shooting. Their efforts ultimately led to a significant development in the case later that same month.
On September 29, 2022, authorities announced that they had made an arrest in connection with the killing of Armon Paris. The suspect taken into custody was a 17-year-old male. Due to his age, his name was not publicly released by the police department. Following the arrest, the teenage suspect was being held in Juvenile Court as the legal process began to address the untimely death of Armon Paris.
