Three hours later, about 11:15 p.m., a man was fatally shot and four people wounded in the 2500 block of Semple Avenue, the same block where Dorian Valentine, 23, of St. Louis, was killed in a shooting about 4:30 a.m. Sunday. It was not immediately clear if the shootings were connected.
Twenty minutes later, a man was shot in the abdomen in the 3700 block of Ohio Avenue.
