District 6 officers responded to a Strong-arm Robbery-In Progress at Newstead and St. Louis around 6:15 p.m. on October 5.
A 38-year-old woman told officers she was sitting in her parked truck when a man she is acquainted with opened the driver door and demanded money.
The man pulled out a knife and pressed it to the woman’s neck. The woman attempted to grab her gun, but the man was able to take the gun from her.
The woman drove away in her truck and the man shot at her. The woman was not injured.
Officers located several shell casings.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact the North Patrol Division at 314-444-0001 for a District 6 detective. Anyone who wants to remain anonymous and/or is interested in a possible reward can call CrimeStoppers at 866-371-TIPS (8477).
