ST. LOUIS – Charges have been filed against three of four men arrested over the weekend following an officer-involved shooting in Midtown.

The shooting happened around 3 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 21, in the 700 block of South Grand Boulevard near Chouteau Avenue, following an apparent spree of active and attempted car break-ins.

Police said Juan Pendergrass, 18, was driving a stolen Audi Q7 with three other men in the vehicle: Devin Hart and Yariel Williams, both 22, and a fourth, as-yet unidentified individual. The Audi had been reported stolen from High Ridge, Missouri, earlier this month.

Officers were initially requested to stop by the QuikTrip at Jefferson and Chouteau after a tip about car break-ins involving a GMC and a Mercedes. Before those officers could arrive, they were redirected to the Topgolf on Chouteau Avenue. The officers were asked to check on an Audi, which was believed to be circling the lot and connected to people looking inside vehicles.

When the responding officers arrived, they were informed the Audi just left the TopGolf parking lot and were headed in the direction of a nearby Target location. Investigators said those officers “located an Audi Q7 and individuals actively breaking into vehicles” moments later.

One officer was able to use spike strips on the Audi as the driver attempted to rush out of the parking lot near Target. The Audi then crashed into another vehicle and struck the median on South Grand.

After that, the four suspects reportedly bailed out of the Audi and took off running.

Police confronted the unidentified man, who was armed, and ordered him to drop his weapon. At some point during the interaction, two officers opened fire, and the armed suspect was shot in the hip. The armed suspect’s firearm was recovered afterward.

Pendergrass, Hart, and Williams were taken into custody nearby. three weapons, including at least one with a sear switch, were seized from the Audi. Meanwhile, the Audi was reported stolen from High Ridge, Missouri, earlier this month.

The armed suspect was hospitalized. His injuries were not life-threatening. He’s not been identified, pending formal charges. However, the other suspects have been charged.

The St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office charged Pendergrass with first-degree tampering with a motor vehicle, resisting arrest for a felony, leaving the scene of an accident, and two counts of first-degree property damage.

Hart was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, second-degree tampering with a motor vehicle, resisting arrest for a felony, and two counts of first-degree property damage. Hart is convicted felon and is currently on parole for first-degree robbery.

Prosecutors charged Williams with second-degree tampering with a motor vehicle, resisting arrest for a felony, and two counts of first-degree property damage.

Pendergrass, Hart, and Williams are all due in court Monday afternoon.
