ST. LOUIS — A St. Louis man and convicted felon admitted Monday to
fatally shooting a woman and injuring another during two separate
violent carjackings in 2022.

According to a press release from the United States District Court
in St. Louis, Loyse Dozier, 21, pleaded guilty in court to four
felonies, including carjacking resulting in death, attempted
carjacking resulting in serious bodily injury, being a felon in
possession of a firearm and possession with intent to distribute
fentanyl.

On July 10, 2022, Dozier said he fatally shot Laruth Jones during a
carjacking on the parking lot of Raqqa Mart located at 352 Chambers
Road in St. Louis County. Jones was standing near the store's
entrance when she saw Dozier, who was wearing a face mask, enter her
Mercedes. She confronted Dozer with her gun and the two exchanged
fire. Jones was shot and killed.

According to Dozier's plea agreement, he said he picked up Jones'
gun before he drove off the mart parking lot in her Mercedes. He
said he later set the car on fire in a St. Louis-area alley.

Dozier admitted that on Aug. 1, 2022, Dozier he shot another woman
during an attempted carjacking on a Walgreens parking lot located at
1400 North Grand Boulevard in St. Louis. Dozier, once again wearing
a mask, walked onto the parking lot and opened the door of the
victim’s Kia Optima and ordered the driver out. She complied and
handed her keys to him. Dozier shot the woman twice before he
entered her Kia, according to his plea agreement.

An off-duty Florissant Police Department officer, who was working as
a security guard inside the Walgreens, ran outside after the
shooting. The officer scared Dozier away, causing Dozier to leave
his phone behind inside the Kia.

About a week later, St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department
officers saw Dozier at a gas station at West Florissant and Adelaide
avenues. Dozier ran and threw a handgun and a bag before officers
caught and arrested him. Officers found 5.76 grams of fentanyl
inside the bag. When Dozier was arrested, officers also found 25
plastic baggies of cocaine base in his pocket and a magazine for the
handgun.

Officers recovered a .45-caliber Smith & Wesson handgun that he’d
stolen from Jones after shooting her. He later used it to shoot the
second victim, police said. Dozier, a convicted felon, is barred
from having a gun.

Dozier's sentencing was set for March 11, 2024. He faces 32 years in
prison, a sentence both sides have agreed to recommend as part of
his plea agreement.

Not long enough. He took two lives, he should die in prison.
