Summary
A deadly night in Alton ends with a tragic double loss: 22-year-old Marcus Quinn is fatally shot by 24-year-old Marcus Fields, who later dies by suicide during a tense police standoff. The shooting erupted around 1 AM on West Elm Street after three gunshots were heard — police arrived at 4:30 AM. Fields, who had been detained earlier this week for a disturbance at his home, managed to evade officers before being found dead at his residence. Authorities are still piecing together the events and urge the public to come forward with any information. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
