A man has died following a shooting incident earlier this month in Dutchtown, St. Louis. According to a statement obtained by SLMPD, the victim has been identified as 43-year-old William Turner, Jr., a resident of St. Louis City. The shooting occurred just after 6:30 p.m. on November 10, in the 4700 block of South Spring.
Upon receiving a call for a shooting, District 1 officers responded to the scene. There, they discovered Turner suffering from gunshot wounds. He was quickly transported to a local hospital for treatment, where, unfortunately, he later succumbed to his injuries. The shooter remained at the scene and, after being detained by police, is currently cooperating with detectives, and has been released pending the investigation.
The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department continues its investigation to unravel the circumstances surrounding the tragic event. As of now, no charges have been filed. In an effort to gather more information, authorities are urging anyone who knows anything about the incident to come forward.
