Police responded around 12:30 p.m. yesterday to a call of shots fired at the park that now occupies the former town of Times Beach. A park ranger found the victim dead near where Interstate 44 meets the Meramec River and described seeing an older, dark colored Camaro leaving the scene.

A vehicle matching the license plate and description of that vehicle was found this morning around 6 a.m. near the intersection of Juniata and Ohio in south St. Louis.
