Third person charged with murder in fatal shooting of teen hockey player from O'Fallon
A third person has been indicted in the fatal shooting of Colin Brown, the O'Fallon teenager who was struck by a stray bullet while riding with his father on Interstate 55 in November. Diamond Baucom was indicted Thursday on charges of first-degree murder, first-degree assault, unlawful possession of a weapon and shooting from a motor vehicle and three counts of armed criminal action, according to court records in St. Louis County. Two others previously were charged in connection with the fatal shooting. Both were named in the grand jury indictment Thursday. They included: Donovan M. Baucom, 28,was charged on Dec. 18 with first-degree murder, three counts of armed criminal action, first-degree assault and unlawful use of a weapon/shooting from a motor vehicle. Garrett Jordan III, 26, was charged the week prior on the same counts as Baucom. According to a probable cause statement, Baucom told St. Louis Metropolitan Police that Jordan 'fired shots during the shooting with a rifle.' Colin resided with his family in O'Fallon, but was a student and varsity hockey player at Christian Brothers College High School in Town and Country, Missouri. He also played with the Affton Americans hockey club in Affton, Missouri, and formerly was a junior varsity player with O'Fallon Ice Hockey Club. His death brought together the area's youth hockey community, who gathered for candle-light vigils in Colin's memory. The shooting occurred late on Nov. 23 night while he and his father, Calvin Brown, a retired lieutenant colonel with the Illinois State Police, were returning from a hockey game and going north on I-55 in St. Louis. Colin Brown was transported to a St. Louis hospital where he died six days later. According to the charging documents, witnesses, security video and cell phone location information led investigators to a dark-colored Audi, which they say Diamond Baucom loaned to her brother, Donovan Boucom, around the time of the shooting. Court records in Jordan's case state that a person who was going south on I-55 at the time when Colin was shot told police his car also was struck by gunfire. He said he had just entered I-55 after he left a nearby home on Minnesota Avenue. Police have processed ballistic damage to the car. According to the probable cause statement for Jordan, witnesses reported to police spotting the Audi parked on Minnesota Avenue near the scene of the shooting. Two assault-style rifles were recovered, police said. Surveillance video also captured the Audi going onto I-55 and returning to the Minnesota Avenue parking space following the shooting. The complaint against Baucom alleges 'the defendant, either acting alone or knowing in concert with another or others, knowingly discharged a firearm from an Audi, a motor vehicle, and, as a result of the above described conduct, Victim 1 suffered injury or death.' Both Baucom and Jordan are being held without bond. A no-bond warrant was also issued for Diamond Baucom.
