## Resource

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.
