A convicted felon from University City, Missouri, has admitted to being caught with a loaded gun after a shooting in 2022.
Sheltkeem Brown, 31, pleaded guilty to a felony charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm after a reckless driving incident on June 25, 2022.
According to court documents, St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department officers responded to reports of shots fired in the Jeff-Vander-Lou neighborhood. Witnesses reported a maroon Chevrolet Traverse speeding away from the scene. Officers activated their lights and sirens, but the driver continued to flee recklessly until crashing into a parked vehicle at North Sarah Street and Cottage Avenue.
Brown fled on foot but was apprehended and found with fentanyl capsules in his rear pocket. The Chevrolet Traverse was discovered to be stolen, and a loaded Glock 22 .40-caliber semi-automatic pistol with an obliterated serial number was found inside the vehicle.
The case was investigated by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Goeke prosecuting the case as part of the Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) program.
PSN aims to reduce violent crime and gun violence by fostering trust and legitimacy in communities, supporting community-based organizations, setting focused enforcement priorities, and measuring results.
Brown’s guilty plea comes as part of a larger effort to address gun violence and reduce crime in the region. His sentencing is pending.
The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department and other law enforcement agencies continue to work together to keep communities safe and hold those accountable for their actions.
