A late Sunday night shooting in Belleville, Illinois left one female victim deceased and another suffering from gunshot wounds.
The search for the suspect ended early Sunday morning when the suspect took his own life in Perry County, Missouri.
Belleville PD, along with officers with Swansea PD, responded to reports of a shooting on the 1700 block of Jamestown Road at 11:20 p.m. on January 17th.
As officers arrived on the scene, they discovered a deceased female lying in the roadway. Further inspection of the scene would uncover two additional female victims inside a nearby vehicle. One of the women inside of the vehicle had also been shot.
