▪ The St. Clair County Emergency Telephone System Board is considering whether to sue a cellphone service provider for not returning surcharge money paid by customers back to the county.

St. Clair County has authorized its Emergency Telephone System Board to seek a potential lawsuit against Verizon Wireless.

Wireless telephone companies have to add a surcharge on all customers within St. Clair County to help pay for the 911 system.

According to a resolution passed by the County Board, “Verizon Wireless has allegedly failed to remit these fees to the St. Clair County Emergency Telephone System Board while continuing to charge the appropriate fees to their customers.”

▪ A man was killed in the 1500 block of Missouri Avenue Saturday morning, and investigators continued looking for the shooter Monday.

The victim was identified as DeAnthony Dillard, 21, of Centreville. A motive for the murder is still unclear.

The 5,000-square-foot store sells new and used video games, movies and music as well as trading cards, collectibles and comics. It also buys used items from its customers for cash or store credit.

The new store is located at 101 St. Clair Square in Fairview Heights.
