Local Hit & Run
On behalf of the City of Jennings (“City”), we are heartbroken over the senseless tragedy involving the hit and run death of a two-year-old boy in the City, occurring on Jennings Station Road Saturday night. The City will work with the St. Louis County Police Department and the office of Wesley Bell to follow all leads relating to this senseless crime and make sure the individual(s) responsible for this terrible loss of life are brought to justice. This little boy lost his life because someone decided to speed through a traffic light at Emma Avenue. We urge everyone visiting the City of Jennings to adhere to all traffic laws and speed limits. We also urge anyone with information regarding this incident to reach out to law enforcement at (636) 529 8210 or Crime Stoppers at 1-866-371-8477. We are praying for the family of this little boy.
