For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney's Office, Eastern District of Missouri

ST. LOUIS – U.S. District Judge Rodney W. Sippel on Thursday sentenced a man involved in two St. Louis area carjackings to 13 years in prison.

Ramon D. Davis, 20, committed an armed carjacking in St. Louis in 2021 and another in Webster Groves in 2022.

On Nov. 7, 2021, Davis, Montrell M. Jackson and a juvenile and stole a man’s 2006 Mazda3 in an alley near Grand Avenue and Bates Street in south St. Louis. Davis was armed with a Canik TP9 handgun that he had stolen the prior month and Jackson had a Ruger MAX-9 handgun. The next day, the Saint Louis Metropolitan Police Department’s Real Time Crime Center license plate recognition system located the stolen car. St. Louis police joined Hazelwood police in a pursuit that was already in progress. After nearly hitting a police car, Davis lost control and spun out in the middle of an intersection before continuing for more than two miles. After the Mazda crashed into a metal storage container at North Florissant Avenue and Branch Street, Davis and Jackson fled. They were later arrested. Officers found a black satchel inside the Mazda that held both guns used in the carjacking.

On Nov. 11, 2022, Ramon Davis, Tristan T. Davis and Jaymond Johnson were in a stolen BMW when Tristan Davis spotted a 2017 Mercedes GLS550 SUV parked in front of a CVS located on Watson Road in Webster Groves. Ramon Davis had an AR-style pistol and confronted an occupant of the Mercedes with it before pushing her to the ground, breaking her finger. Ramon and Tristan Davis drove away in the carjacked Mercedes.

Ramon Davis pleaded guilty in July to two counts of brandishing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence and two counts of carjacking. Tristan T. Davis, 20, and Montrell M. Jackson, 21, of Northwoods, each pleaded guilty to one count of carjacking and one count of brandishing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence.  Tristan Davis was sentenced in September to 90 months in prison and Jackson was sentenced to 70 months.

Jaymond Johnson, 20, has pleaded guilty to one count of carjacking and one count of brandishing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence and awaits sentencing.

The St. Louis County Police Department, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, the FBI, the Webster Groves Police Department, the Hazelwood Police Department and the Normandy Police Department investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Zachary Bluestone and Cassandra Wiemken prosecuted the case.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. On May 26, 2021, the Department launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.
