Two Charged With Murder of Man Found In January-Wabash Park

Two people were charged with the murder of a man who was found dead in a pickup truck parked in Ferguson’s January-Wabash Park Saturday.

James Miller, 52, of the 1200 block of Fargo Drive in Ferguson, and Deborah A Lewis, 55, of the 2500 block of Ada Avenue, were charged Sunday with first-degree murder and armed criminal action.

A Major Case Squad investigation determined that Miller and Lewis killed Byron Poindexter by shooting him in the head at Lewis’ home in Jennings, according to court documents.

According to a court document, Lewis told investigators the plan was to make the shooting look like a suicide.

Miller and Lewis are being held without bond in St. Louis County jail.
