HAZELWOOD, MISSOURI (KMOX) - A Hazelwood man faces second-degree murder and armed criminal action counts after a fatal shooting at the Smart Mart convenience store on Howdershell Sunday night. Police say they found a man lying on the floor, unresponsive after responding to reports of gun shots. 23-year-old Alec James Harris of Hazelwood was taken into custody at the scene. He is being held without bond.
Investigators say the two men were acquaintances and got into an argument inside the store. The charges were issued Monday after the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney was presented the case by investigators.
