McClinton, of the 3100 block of Pennsylvania Avenue, was charged with second-degree murder (also called felony murder), kidnapping, burglary and armed criminal action. McClintons cash bail was set at $1 million.
In May 2010, McClinton was charged with fatally shooting Bryan Reed, 28, the previous month. Reed was sitting with a friend in a car April 24 in the 3700 block of Minnesota Avenue about 12:40 a.m. when a gunman approached and shot Reed several times.
The St. Louis Circuit Attorneys Office dropped murder and armed criminal action charges against McClinton in Reeds killing because of a lack of witness cooperation, said Susan Ryan, a spokeswoman for the office. McClinton was released from jail in January 2013 after nearly three years behind bars awaiting trial on the murder case and other unrelated charges that were ultimately dropped.
McClinton has convictions in Missouri of drug possession and distribution and vehicle tampering.
The investigation is ongoing, police said.
No one answered the door at the home Tuesday, but broken glass and bullet holes marked the storm door where shots were fired.
