ST. LOUIS — A man shot and killed a 17-year-old boy during an attempted carjacking in downtown St. Louis over the weekend.
It happened Sunday at 9:49 p.m. in the 800 block of Cole Street, just west of The Dome at America's Center, according to a preliminary report from St. Louis police.
The teen, identified as Demarco Combs, was pronounced dead at the scene. The victim, a 22-year-old man, had a minor injury to his shoulder. The death was not listed Monday among the 123 homicides for the year in St. Louis. The shooting is still under investigation and authorities hadn’t determined if the shooting was justified.
