ST. LOUIS — Editor's Note: Video featured above is from previous coverage.
Five years have passed since Reeba Moore, Dominique Lewis, and Chanice White were gunned down while trying to escape a home invasion in north St. Louis. Time has drifted by but police are still searching for leads to solve this triple murder.
On Dec. 22, 2017, the three women were found inside a blue Buick LeSabre, which belonged to Moore, outside a home in the 4200 block of John Avenue in north St. Louis' Fairgrounds neighborhood. Police said the trio and a 32-year-old man tried to escape after gunmen broke into the house. However, as they were getting into a car, the attackers opened fire with different caliber weapons, killing all three of the women.
At the time of the shooting, Moore was just 25 years old while Lewis and White were both 24.
In 2018, 5 On Your Side spoke to Moore's sister Candi Sharie who said her Christmas spirit was forever broken. She added that pain is shared among her other siblings.
"It's not Christmas here. It's like no tree, no lights, no anything because it's just right now it's still not normal not to have her," she said.
"We haven't had any closure. It's just hard knowing that it is still lingering in the air," her sister Marva Moore added.
