On the evening of August 14, 2021, a shooting at a home in the 200 block of Meadowcrest Drive in the Forestwood neighborhood of Ferguson, Missouri, left two women dead. Officers responding around 7:05 p.m. found 29-year-old Shaunta Johnson and 27-year-old Mya Ward with gunshot wounds; both died of their injuries. Shaunta Johnson is identified as a Black/African American female from St. Louis.

Investigators say the confrontation began when Johnson arrived to confront the homeowner. The argument escalated after two other women joined. Witnesses and police reports indicate one of the women brandished a handgun. A male relative of the homeowner intervened, was assaulted, and the dispute moved into the basement. There the man retrieved a firearm and fired; both Johnson and Ward were struck. The male relative fled in a black Cadillac and was later taken into custody the following Tuesday. Authorities have not immediately released his name while charging decisions and questions about whether the shooting was self-defense were being worked out.

Did anyone in the Forestwood area witness the confrontation or the black Cadillac leaving the scene?
