ST. LOUIS • A St. Louis man has been charged in the shooting death of a woman who lived a few blocks away.
Monir Aziz, 56, of the 3600 block of Sullivan Avenue in St. Louis, was charged today with second-degree murder and armed criminal action in the death of Yvonne Robinson, 35.
Robinson was fatally shot in the head inside her apartment in the 4000 block of Sullivan Avenue early May 18, police say. Police say they believed the killing was drug-related. Court documents say Aziz admitted shooting Robinson.
Police say a witness said he heard Robinson talking with someone inside her home about 12:15 a.m. Then he heard gunshots but didn't see who shot Robinson.
Aziz was being held on no bond. Court records say he has previously pleaded guilty to burglary, stealing, tampering, and drug charges. In 2000 he pleaded guilty in St. Louis to drug distribution and was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
