ST. LOUIS – St. Louis Metropolitan Police issued an arrest warrant for a man wanted for first-degree murder in a fatal shooting last month.
According to the SLMPD probable cause statement, Revon A. Swinney, 42, fatally shot another man at 3607 Hamilton in the city’s Wells-Goodfellow neighborhood on October 12.
Allegedly, Swinney approached the victim’s vehicle and, after conversing with him, pulled out a gun and fatally shot him. Another victim was in the vehicle and immediately exited the car after being in the line of fire during the shooting.
Surveillance video at a surrounding motel captured the shooting on camera. Police said when an employee of the motel was shown photos from the video, they were able to provide Swinney’s identity.
Swinney has been charged with first-degree murder, two counts of armed criminal action, and one count of first-degree assault. A warrant was issued for his arrest on Wednesday.
