Authorities said two men jailed on a string of charges in St. Clair County are connected to the murder of Bobby Christman, a DeSmet Jesuit High School graduate who was fatally shot this month in downtown St. Louis.
Aza K. Thompson and Tony Ross, both from East St. Louis, were held in the St. Clair County Jail in lieu of $750,000 bail on various Illinois felony charges, but not murder.
State’s Attorney Brendan Kelly announced Monday night that he filed multiple charges “related to the ongoing investigation of the homicide” of Christman, who was 19 and lived in south St. Louis County.
Christman was fatally shot about 12:45 a.m. Jan. 11 in an apparent robbery attempt as he sat in a parked car with his brother and girlfriend at Lucas Avenue and North 15th Street, near the Washington Avenue entertainment district.
Lauren Trager, spokeswoman for the St. Louis circuit attorney’s office, said in an email Tuesday that no charges have been filed in the Christman murder and that “the police are still actively investigating.”
Authorities say Thompson and Ross are the men who exchanged shots with St. Louis and East St. Louis police who approached them in the Washington Park area the night after Christman was slain.
No officers were hit.
