District 2 is investigating a shooting incident wherein five people were injured on July 17 in Tower Grove South.
Around 7:07 p.m., officers received a call for a shooting at Morganford & Beck. Upon arriving, officers located a shooting scene on a parking lot in the 3700 block of Morganford at Beck. While on scene, officers were notified that five males – a 23-year-old, a 19-year-old, a 24-year-old, and two 17-year-olds – had all arrived at hospitals suffering from gunshot wounds.
The males were not cooperative with providing details about the shooting and claimed to either know nothing about the shooting or about who shot them. However, a review of available surveillance revealed the five males exchanged gunshots between each other when they were shot. Officers are still working to determine the motive behind the incident and who initiated it.
All five males suffered non-life-threatening injuries. No other suspects are being sought at this time. The investigation remains ongoing.
Anyone with a tip about this incident is asked to call a 2nd District detective at 314-444-0100.
