ST. LOUIS — A man has been arrested in connection to the shooting death of a woman in south St. Louis earlier this month.
At around 7:30 a.m. on April 3, police found a woman with a gunshot wound to her chest in the 3800 block of Louisiana Avenue.
The woman was conscious and breathing but unresponsive when police arrived at the scene. She was taken to a hospital where she later died. She was identified as 34-year-old Kanoy Clark.
On Thursday, April 29, St. Louis police announced an arrest in the case. Since the 33-year-old suspect hasn’t been charged yet, 5 On Your Side will not release his name.
This is a developing story and will be updated as 5 On Your Side receives more information.
