Suspect in double murder took ride to and from crime scene – WFTV

Authorities say additional charges are pending.

When officers arrived at the scene, they found a man and a woman, later identified as a brother and sister, shot.

Police said the brother’s body was found “near a residence,” while the sister’s body was found “not far away,” according to the Kansas City Star.

However, according to prosecutors, Harris, who had previously been romantically involved with Cooper, suspected her of slashing his new girlfriend’s car tires the night before.

He took the Lyft to the victim’s home in St. Louis County, where he had an altercation with Rhodes. According to police, Rhodes punched Harris in the face, then Harris shot Rhodes, TV station KDSK reported.

Police did not say what they believe happened to Cooper. She was found “a short distance away” from her brother, who was also shot, police said.

Harris attempted to flee the scene in the rideshare vehicle but was arrested.

“The police saw him getting into a car and thought it was strange. So they stopped the car and flagged down the driver,” a neighbor told KDSK.

A firearm that investigators believe was used in the shooting was recovered at the scene.
