ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. — St. Louis County prosecutors on Monday dropped murder charges against a teenager who was accused of fatally shooting a man at the Galleria shopping mall in 2020.
Jaron Lemmitt, now 19, had been charged with second-degree murder and armed criminal action in the shooting death of 21-year-old Jaquan Steed. Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell said in a statement that surveillance video not available at the time charges were filed provided “unmistakable evidence” that Lemmitt acted in self-defense.
