ST. LOUIS — Prosecutors have named and charged a man suspected in a shooting outside the Civic Center MetroLink station near downtown.
Police investigators believe 21-year-old Jaquan Thomas shot a man outside the station earlier this month. The shooting left a 35-year-old man with a serious injury to his torso, according to the probable cause statement.
Police said the victim identified Thomas in a photographic lineup as one of the people who had shot him.
The shooting happened at about 11:50 p.m. on Aug. 4. With the help of MetroLink Security, St. Louis police found two suspects and took them into custody. A 5 On Your Side photojournalist also saw police detaining the men in handcuffs on the train tracks.
The victim drove himself to the hospital, police said.
Thomas is facing a charge of first-degree assault and unlawful possession of a firearm.
