Shaunta Johnson

Investigators were called to a home in the 200 block of Meadowcrest Drive at 7:05 p.m., where a woman had arrived earlier and confronted the person who lived there. During the argument, two other women arrived, and one of them pulled out a handgun, Ferguson police Chief Frank McCall said. A male relative of the homeowner tried to step in but was assaulted by one of the women confronting them, police said. The argument continued into the basement of the house where the man pulled out a gun and shot and killed the woman waving the handgun and also struck another woman, McCall said. The male relative then fled the area in a black Cadillac. Both women died. Ferguson police later identified one of the victims as Shaunta Johnson, 29.
