ST. LOUIS — A man believed to be the suspect in a domestic situation died from gunshot wounds Thursday afternoon in St. Louis.
Officers were called to the 3900 block of Olive Street, which is near Vandeventer Avenue, at about 4:35 p.m. for a report of a shooting. They found a man, later identified as the suspect, in a grassy area suffering from gunshot wounds to his torso and arm. He was taken to a nearby hospital where doctors later pronounced him dead.
The man was identified as 28-year-old Jalonte Riley.
