ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – An argument between roommates over a missing gun resulted in one of the men shooting the other.
According to the North County Police Cooperative’s Probable Cause statement, the shooting happened on April 8 in the 8300 block of Garfield Avenue in Vinita Park.
Police claim Jordan Fox (age not provided) eventually located the missing firearm and asked his roommate to leave the residence. While the roommate was walking outside, Fox allegedly fired several shots at the ground and then fired one round in the roommate’s direction.
The roommate was struck in the wrist and suffered a graze wound to his leg.
Fox was taken into custody.
The St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office charged Fox with first-degree assault and armed criminal action. Fox remains jailed on a $100,000 cash-only bond. He’s due in court next week for a bond reduction hearing.
