Shortly before 5 p.m. on November 14, 2026, a Moline Acres police officer working secondary security at the Lindell Marketplace was approached by a citizen reporting a male suspect was making threats to shoot people; however, that suspect had reportedly left the scene after making the threats.
At some point, the suspect returned to the scene and encountered the Moline Acres officer, leading to a foot pursuit, and the Moline Acres officer fired a gunshot.
The suspect surrendered and was taken into custody. Neither the officer nor the suspect was injured during the incident.
The SLMPD Force Investigation Unit is handling the investigation, which is standard for all law-enforcement use of force incidents in the City of St. Louis.
