ST. LOUIS – Just three days before Christmas, police are investigating a woman’s murder in the Wells-Goodfellow neighborhood.
Police responded to a call on Kennerly Avenue off Goodfellow Boulevard. Uporn arrival, they found a woman shot inside a home. She was not conscious or breathing.
Our Nissan Rogue Runner reporter, Nic Lopez, shared that police discovered the woman’s body in the living room, near the front door of the home. Homicide detectives swiftly placed police tape around the house and the street.
