More detail on this person: Joseph Maiorana: Chesterfield man charged with murder in shooting death Chesterfield man charged with murder in shooting death Chesterfield Journal (MO) - Wednesday, May 4, 2005 A Chesterfield man has been charged in the shooting death of another man April 29 in what police call a "landlord-tenant dispute." Charles Robert Collins, 72, of the 15600 block of Dresden Lake Court, was charged the following day with one count each of first-degree murder and armed criminal action, said Chesterfield police Sgt. Steve Lewis. The victim, Joseph Maiorana, 63, was shot with a handgun at Collins' home, Lewis said. Maiorana had been staying at the home, in the Baxter Lakes subdivision, but originally was from California. Collins is being held without bond at the St. Louis County Jail in Clayton, Lewis said. Collins was arrested at about 4:21 p.m. April 29 after police received a 911 call notifying them of a shooting at Collins' home. The shooting stemmed from an argument between the two men, "and the disagreement escalated into a physical altercation," Lewis said. Collins then shot Maiorana multiple times with a handgun, Lewis said. "The victim was renting a room in (Collins') home," Chesterfield police Capt. Ed Nestor said. "Investigation is continuing," he said Monday. "We are not releasing further details about the argument that led to the shooting." Collins was examined by paramedics at the scene, Nestor said. "But the injuries he sustained - cuts on his face - didn't require further medical attention," Nestor said. I'll never forget dancing in the moonlight on deserted Gaviota Beach, you always knew how to win me back over our decades of back and forth, never quite making things work. But I always knew how much you loved me, I still know and will never forget...and I still love you too Joey. Love, stillC.
