MOLINE ACRES, Mo. (AP) — Police in suburban St. Louis have identified a man found fatally shot in a Moline Acres home in an incident that led to an hourslong standoff, but no arrest.
Marquise Foston, 28, of St. Louis, died at a hospital after being pulled from the home by officers Tuesday night, St. Louis County police said in a news release. Police were called to the home just before 7 p.m. Tuesday, where they found Foston with several gunshot wounds.
Officers believed the shooting suspect was still barricaded inside the home and called in a SWAT team. About four hours later, a search of the home revealed that the suspect had fled before the SWAT team arrived.
