ST. LOUIS - Prosecutors have now charged a second suspect with first-degree murder in connection with the death of Colin Brown, a teenager fatally shot on I-55 last month in St. Louis while riding back from a hockey game with his father.
The St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office filed the following charges Wednesday morning against 28-year-old Donovan Baucom:
- First-degree murder
- Two counts of armed criminal action
- First-degree assault
- Unlawful use of a weapon (Shooting at a motor vehicle)
The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department says Baucom was arrested earlier this week prior to Wednesday's charges.
Last Friday, prosecutors charged 26-year-old Garrett Jordan with first-degree murder, three counts of armed criminal action, first-degree assault, and unlawful use of a weapon in the investigation.
Colin Brown, a 16-year-old and student of Christian Brother College High School, was struck by a stray bullet on the evening of November 23. The shooting happened on Interstate 55 near Loughborough Avenue as his family was driving home from one of his hockey games. He was hospitalized in critical condition for four days before he died from his injuries.
FOX 2 is working to obtain court documents over Baucom's new charges.
The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department is also expected to provide updates on this case in a news conference Wednesday at 12:30 p.m.
