ST. LOUIS (AP) - A 24-year-old man is facing two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of a man and woman in north St. Louis.

The circuit attorney’s office says Keith Wright also faces two counts of armed criminal action in the shooting deaths of 25-year-old Shayla Carter and 26-year-old Ricos Boyd. Charges were announced Wednesday.

Both victims were killed about 3:30 a.m. Tuesday outside a car behind Wright’s home.



Authorities say Carter and Wright’s girlfriend were involved in a fight prior to the shooting.
