Corey Dukes

A North County man has been charged in a fatal shooting in which the victim was not discovered until the next day in the 9900 block of Halls Ferry Road between Chambers Road and Hecht Avenue. Corey Dukes, 42, of Florissant, was found dead about 7:25 a.m. Dukes had been shot and was pronounced dead at the scene, county police Sgt. Tracy Panus said in a statement. Monquell Shivers, 46, of unincorporated St. Louis County, was charged Thursday with second-degree murder, armed criminal action and unlawful possession of a firearm, court documents show. After Dukes' body was discovered, investigators learned that a suspect had been taken into custody hours earlier who witnesses said fired shots at the victim from a nearby bar sometime around 11 p.m. the night before.
