The incident happened on the sidewalk outside the Globe Building in St. Louis on the 27th of last month. It can be seen in the video that when a homeless person was sitting on the side of the road, Thomas, who was standing nearby, suddenly pulled himself out. Pulling out a gun, the homeless quickly raised his hands and surrendered, but he still executed people at close range.
The exaggerated scene scared people nearby to shout, “Oh my God, he just killed him like this”. Police said the victim, who was in his 40s, appeared to have clashed with Thomas at a gas station a few minutes before the incident. Thomas then followed him across the road and shot him dead.
Thomas fled the scene immediately after the incident and was later arrested at a local public library. The exaggerated incident triggered criticism from the outside world that the authorities should take measures to prevent the recurrence of crimes. Missouri Congressman Josh Hawley also forwarded the video and called for the officials responsible to step down.
