Nearly a month after he was shot in the Baden neighborhood, a 50-year-old Lemay man has died from his injuries, and the case now centers on felony charges against a suspect already in custody.
Elmore Bibbs, 50, was shot on April 25 in the 1100 block of Riverview Boulevard and died on May 19. Police say a 37-year-old man was taken into custody on May 16 and faces charges of first-degree assault, armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon.
According to First Alert 4, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department reported that Bibbs was initially listed in critical and unstable condition and could not provide a statement after the April shooting. The outlet also reported the arrest and the three charges but did not publish the suspect’s name. Police have not released additional information about a possible motive or any scheduled court appearance.
