A St. Charles teen is dead and another man is in custody after the city`s latest murder overnight in north St. Louis.
The murder occurred October 1 at about 10:30 p.m. on Sexauer near Bircher. Police arrived to find 19-year-old Sean Engel shot multiple times and unconscious inside of a car. Engel was pronounced dead at the scene.
Jamar Haskim Mack, 24, is identified as suspect. He has been charged with murder, two counts of armed criminal action and robbery. A probable cause statement from police says Mack admits to shooting Engle after a struggle in the vehicle.
Investigators say Engel and the Mack knew each other and got into a dispute. Witnesses report hearing a gunshot and Mack telling Engel to, “Give it up.” That’s when police say the suspect shot Engel inside his Mini Cooper.
