ST. LOUIS COUNTY • Prosecutors filed murder charges Tuesday against a man from Black Jack in the shooting death of his 18-year-old ex-girlfriend in Hazelwood.

Jordan P. Beck, 21, was being held in jail in lieu of $200,000, cash-only bail. Beck is charged with first-degree murder, first-degree burglary and two counts of armed criminal action. He lives in the 4900 block of Kennewick Drive in Black Jack.

Authorities say Beck went to the home of his ex-girlfriend, Celia Kollie, about 1 p.m. Monday in the 1400 block of Annilo Drive in Hazelwood. Kollie and her mother were sitting in the kitchen when he shot the glass sliding door to get inside, police said. He then chased Kollie into the garage and shot her until he ran out of bullets.

Beck told police he could not bear to see her moving on, police said.

After the shooting, police say, a man ran from the scene. Police later arrested Beck less than two miles away, in the 2200 block of Riverwood Place Drive.
