From Fox 59 Indianapolis (fox59.com):
FISHERS, Ind. — A man who led multiple police agencies on a chase in Indiana last year is now wanted for murder in St. Louis.
According to FOX2, one of FOX59 and CBS4’s affiliate stations in St. Louis, 42-year-old Revon A. Swinney allegedly shot and killed a man in St. Louis’ Wells-Goodfellow neighborhood on Oct. 12.
The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department issued a warrant for Swinney’s arrest on Wednesday. Per FOX2, he has been preliminarily charged with murder, armed criminal action and first-degree assault.
Swinney was involved in a chase with officers from the Fishers Police Department and other agencies on Oct. 16, 2023. On that date, Swinney got away from police multiple times before they found a vehicle he had allegedly stolen abandoned on I-69.
After they found the abandoned car — a maroon Lincoln MKZ — police apprehended Swinney with assistance from a K-9 and a drone. Swinney faces seven preliminary charges for the chase he allegedly sparked in Indiana:
Resisting law enforcement with a vehicle — Level 6 Felony
Auto theft — Level 6 Felony
Unlawful carrying of a handgun — Class A Misdemeanor
False identity statement — Class A Misdemeanor
Possession of marijuana — Class B Misdemeanor
Unlawful carrying of a handgun with a prior felony conviction in the last 15 years — Level 5 Felony
Possession of marijuana — Class A Misdemeanor
Following his 2023 arrest, Swinney was booked into the Hamilton County Jail. According to Indiana’s public court reporting system, Swinney’s bail amount was initially set at $50,000. After his initial hearing, a court also mandated Swinney be held without bond for seven days.
A bail hearing was held in Swinney’s Indiana case on Nov. 2, 2023. After the hearing, his bond was reduced to $30,000.
An Indiana court initially scheduled a jury trial in Swinney’s case for Feb. 6, 2024. Motions for continuance got that date pushed back to May 14.
The pretrial conference in Swinney’s Indiana case was set for May 2. Swinney did not show up to that conference, and a warrant was issued for his arrest the same day.
Indiana’s public court reporting system indicates Swinney’s primary residence is in St. Louis. As of this article’s publication, neither SLMPD nor FPD had released any additional information on Swinney’s whereabouts.

Thoughts? As of today’s posting date (November 18th, 2024), Missouri’s casenet records show still no new events since a warrant for Swinney was issued back on November 13th, 2024. Also, this forum usually only posts fugitive cases where it is specifically stated in the articles police are asking for the public’s help for tips. I decided to make an exception here since this is a very dangerous alleged fugitive. Anyone who spots him should I guess call their local police or crime stoppers for now I guess.
