Man, woman killed in double shooting Monday night in Ferguson

The Major Case Squad of Greater St. Louis has been called in to investigate

FERGUSON, Mo. — The Major Case Squad of Greater St. Louis has been activated after a man and a woman were killed in a double shooting at a Ferguson apartment complex late Monday night.

The Ferguson Police Department responded at 11:46 p.m. to a call for shots fired at 9395 Caddiefield Road, at the Canfield Green Apartments. 

A man and woman were found with multiple gunshot wounds; the man was pronounced dead at the scene, and the woman was rushed to a local hospital, where she was later pronounced dead. Their identities are being withheld pending notification of family members.

A parking lot in the area was taped off while police looked for evidence. A 5 On Your Side photojournalist counted 17 evidence markers next to a white four-door sedan.

A homicide investigation is underway. Anyone with information is asked to call the Major Case Squad Command Post at 314-522-3100 ext. 5244 or CrimeStoppers at 1-866-371-TIPS(8477.)

The Canfield Green Apartments are also where 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot and killed by a police officer in 2014.

This is a developing story. It will be updated as more information becomes available.
