ST. LOUIS — Five people were shot in St. Louis on Christmas Eve, and three of those people died from their injuries, according to police.
St. Louis police said the first shooting happened at about 3:17 a.m. in the 900 block of Talmage Avenue, about a quarter-mile from Manchester and South Vandeventer avenues.
Video from a Ring security camera captured the fatal shooting. A man in a yellow shirt can be seen firing several shots toward the porch of a home before running away.
Police said the man on the porch was shot in the chest. He was taken to a hospital, where he later died.
The second fatal shooting happened at about 3:18 a.m. at Minnesota Avenue and Potomac Street, two blocks east of Gravois Park. According to police, 34-year-old Donta Stone and another man approached a car parked at the south St. Louis intersection. Stone reportedly tried to rob a 20-year-old man and woman inside.
The 20-year-old man then fired his gun, hitting Stone in the neck, before he drove off to a nearby gas station to call police. First responders took Stone to a hospital where he later died.
The third deadly shooting happened shortly after 10 p.m.
Police responded to Lillian and Mimika avenues in north St. Louis, where they found a man dead from gunshot wounds inside a car.
A 51-year-old suspect was taken into custody but police have not released any more information.
At least two other people were shot in St. Louis on Christmas Eve in non-fatal incidents.
Around 1:15 a.m., a 22-year-old man was at a party at a facility in the 500 block of North Vandeventer Avenue when he noticed a fight broke out. As the man tried to break it up, officials said he was shot in the back after someone fired shots in the hallway.
Another man arrived at a St. Louis hospital at about 8 p.m. with gunshot wounds to his right arm and abdomen, telling police he had been shot while standing on the steps of the Old Courthouse near Market Street and North Tucker Boulevard.
All of the incidents are under investigation. Police urged anyone with information to call CrimeStoppers at 866-371-TIPS (8477).
