Circuit Attorney refuses charges to woman arrested in Cherokee St. shooting

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:25:10 GMT

ST. LOUIS - One woman arrested in a Cherokee Street weekend shooting is no longer in jail. Police say she has been released after the St. Louis Circuit Attorney's Office refused to issue charges. Police arrested Amber Booker, 33, in the investigation into a shooting Saturday evening as a Cinco de Mayo festival was wrapping up for the day. Photos shared by police Monday in connection with the case showed one woman, suspected to be Booker, and another man holding weapons. The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department tells FOX 2 that the circuit attorney's office refused all charges, citing a "lack of evidence" for one count of each charge and stating "victim refuses to assist" in the case of each charge. Investigators had tried for two counts of first-degree assault and two counts of armed criminal action. Not one scheduled criminal trial began as new special assistant prosecutor is sworn in to help It's unclear what this might mean for another suspect wanted by SLMPD in the shooti...

What is Title 42 and how has it curbed migration?

The restrictions are often referred to as Title 42, because the authority comes from Title 42 of a 1944 public health law that allows curbs on migration in the name of protecting public health. The end of Title 42's use has raised questions about what will happen with migration at the U.S.-Mexico border. The Biden administration is preparing for an increase in migrants.A look at what Title 42 is and why it matters: HOW DID IT START?In March 2020, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued an order limiting migration, saying it was necessary to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
