ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – Authorities arrested a man who allegedly threw a brick and shot at a vehicle Thursday evening in north St. Louis County.
Prosecutors have charged Key’Shawn Deal, 21, with property damage, armed criminal action, unlawful use of a weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm in connection with the investigation.
Deal is accused in a disturbance that unfolded around 9:30 p.m. Thursday near the 5300 block of Englewood Place.
