Police in suburban St. Louis were searching for a woman accused of fatally shooting her ex-girlfriend’s fiancé a day after the couple announced their engagement on social media.
Prosecutors on Monday charged 24-year-old Kenrianna Little with first-degree murder and other counts in the Sunday killing of 52-year-old Marilyn Taylor. Neither she nor a man believed to be her accomplice in the killing were in custody by late Tuesday.
Florissant police said Little’s ex-girlfriend, Reioinnie Hood, and Taylor had announced their engagement Saturday on Facebook. Many people were congratulating the couple.
The next day, police say, Little began threatening the couple with texts, photos, and calls. Her ex-girlfriend had a restraining order against Little, according to court documents.
Little then showed up unannounced at the couple’s Florissant home with another man. She knocked on the door loudly, announcing “Maintenance.”
When Taylor opened the door, police said, Little shot her several times.
The ex-girlfriend was forced to leave the home. The male suspect then went back to shoot Taylor again.
All three left the area in a black sedan with a tan bumper. Florissant Police are still looking for Little. It is not clear what happened to her ex-girlfriend or the other man.
