ST. LOUIS – Homicide detectives with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department have made an arrest after a teenager was found shot to death late Sunday afternoon in a stolen vehicle.

According to a police probable cause statement, the carjackings occurred a little before 6 p.m. Sunday evening on the 3900 block of North 19th Street in the city’s Hyde Park neighborhood. The carjackings involved a Honda Element and a Chevrolet Equinox.

Police said a 63-year-old woman was robbed at gunpoint by the five men and forced to hand over her belongings, including the Honda Element. Two of the men took off in the Honda.

According to police, the three other suspects later approached a 75-year-old woman at gunpoint while she was sitting inside her Chevrolet Equinox. The three men forced the woman to exit the Equinox before taking off in the vehicle.

Both the 63-year-old and 75-year-old women were not injured in the carjackings, police said.

Authorities found the Equinox a little before 6:30 p.m., parked at the intersection of Winnebago Street and Minnesota Avenue in the Gravois Park neighborhood of south St. Louis. When officers arrived at the scene, they found an 18-year-old dead from an apparent gunshot wound sitting in the back seat of the Equinox. Homicide detectives were called to the scene to investigate.

The Honda Element was located around 9:30 p.m. Sunday night near the intersection of Jefferson Avenue and Cherokee Street, investigators said. The driver sped off when officers attempted a traffic stop.

Police pursued the Element until the vehicle became disabled at the intersection of West Florissant and East Taylor avenues. Two occupants in the vehicle took off on foot.

Police arrested two people, an 18-year-old man and a 17-year-old, following a brief foot pursuit. Police recovered two handguns after the chase.

Detectives interviewed the 18-year-old, identified as Terrence White, and determined he was responsible for shooting and killing the dead teenager, police said.

On Tuesday, the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office charged White with first-degree murder and armed criminal action. White remains jailed without bond. A scheduled court appears was not available in online records at the time of this initial posting.
