Two women, ages 44 and 27, were also injured outside the vehicle, and EMS transported them to an area hospital. There was no report of their condition.

White, of the 1100 block of Haley Avenue in St. Louis, was charged with first-degree murder, two counts of assault, three counts of armed criminal action and resisting arrest by the St. Louis County Circuit Attorney. Bond is not allowed.
