there are so many jokes to be made here. i'll just say this - for those of you unfamiliar with STL, this is why north county should be avoided at all costs and should be wiped off the map. all the "east st. louis" stereotypes have moved there. can't remember the last east st. louis story....STL PD wrote:St. Louis woman dies in another fast-food dispute
For the second time in a month, police say a fight over fast food has led to the killing of a St. Louis resident.
Decora Jenkins, 18, was fatally shot early Monday in her home in St. Louis after arguing about a fast-food meal, police said.
Jenkins died from a gunshot wound to the head shortly after 1 a.m. in her home in the 1600 block of McLaran Avenue in the city's North Pointe neighborhood, police said.
Jenkins, her boyfriend, 20, and Erika Wherry, 28, returned to Jenkins' home after ordering food from a fast-food restaurant.
Wherry and Jenkins' boyfriend began wrestling over the food, police said. Wherry then picked up a gun and fired it toward the boyfriend but instead hit Jenkins, who was standing behind her boyfriend, police said. The boyfriend was unhurt except for minor gunpowder burns. Neighbors said Wherry is Jenkins' aunt.
Prosecutors charged Wherry on Monday with involuntary manslaughter.
Neighbor LaJoy Andrews said she had dropped the three off at the house after a block party, about an hour before the three drove to a nearby Rally's Hamburgers.
Andrews, 34, said Jenkins lived with Wherry, her father and younger brother, and had just earned her high school equivalency certificate last month. Andrews said Jenkins had planned to go to beauty school. Andrews described Jenkins as a "high-spirited" and "positive" person who rarely let anything bother her.
"It's very heartbreaking," Andrews said. "All this came about over a hamburger. It's a terrible situation."
Andrews said tough economic times may have factored into the argument.
"It's sad out here right now," she said. "There's no jobs. Everybody is stressed out."
On Monday afternoon, a swarm of ants was attacking two Rally's hamburger wrappers on the front porch of Jenkins' home. A man who answered the door declined to comment.
On Aug. 3, Carl Sharp, 26, of Jennings, a youth coach and former basketball player for Jennings High School, was fatally shot in the 3800 block of Lee Avenue in St. Louis after a dispute over a hamburger order placed at a fast-food restaurant. Police arrested a 16-year-old boy in connection with that shooting.
