Metro East woman arrested months after fatal shooting stemming from 'love triangle,' police say

A witness said the suspect was involved in a love triangle with a man and the woman she shot.

ST. LOUIS — A woman was found in the Metro East and arrested in connection with a deadly shooting in St. Louis back in June.

The U.S. Marshals Service found 29-year-old Santhosia Ingram in Cahokia, Illinois, and took her into custody early Wednesday morning. She was wanted in connection with the deadly shooting of 44-year-old Rosalyn Anderson on June 24.

Police said officers responded to a call regarding a shooting on the night of June 24 in the 4400 block of Kennerly Avenue, when they were told that Anderson was being taken to an area hospital with gunshot wounds. Anderson was pronounced dead at the hospital a short time later.

According to a probable cause statement, the witness who drove Anderson to the hospital told police Anderson had been involved in a love triangle with Ingram and a man. She explained that Anderson had been charged for shooting the man during a domestic dispute several months prior, and that he and Anderson were in another argument that night on Kennerly Avenue when Ingram shot Anderson.

The victim said Ingram and the man then drove off together.

On July 13, Ingram was charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action. A St. Louis judge ordered Ingram be held without bond, according to online court records.
