RIVERVIEW, Mo. (AP) — A man charged with murder in August in St. Louis County is dead following another shooting.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that 21-year-old Demarcus Pierce was found by Riverview police Friday morning.

He died Saturday at a hospital.

St. Louis County police took over the investigation and are trying to determine if there is a link to a fatal shooting in August in Wellston.
