Late summer 2019 ended in tragedy for Saint-Louis, Missouri, when a crime spree on August 29 left two women dead. According to reports, 34-year-old Kara Ball was shot during an attack at an apartment on Michigan Avenue after the suspect, identified as 30-year-old Anthony Liston, stole a Jeep Cherokee and wounded a woman at a gas station earlier that day. Liston allegedly forced his way into the apartment, shot 39-year-old Lisa Georgieff in the chest and shot Kara Ball in the head and groin. Georgieff was pronounced dead at the scene; Ball was taken to a local hospital and later died of her injuries. A man in the apartment was also assaulted.

Liston’s spree continued with attempts to steal other vehicles before employees from a nearby business subdued him and held him for police. He was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder and multiple other felonies, including armed criminal action, assault, and attempted robbery. During questioning he reportedly said he committed the killings because he felt unwelcome at the apartment. Does anyone in Saint-Louis have information about Kara Ball or the events on Michigan Avenue that night?
