Summary
911 dispatch audio from the July 25 House Springs shooting shows a teenage friend hiding in a closet after seeing 73-year-old Robert Winkelman shoot Jessica Lashly, 38, and her 17-year-old daughter, Jersey Greer.
Deputies said Winkelman went to the home around 8:30 p.m. to complain about noise, shot Lashly in the head, then shot Greer as she rushed to help her mother.
Dispatchers said the caller stopped responding and two gunshots could be heard in the background; a third person was later chased by Winkelman but not shot.
Lashly and Greer died days later in a hospital, and investigators said Winkelman had ongoing frustrations with activity at the home and would have faced 2 first-degree murder counts.
Winkelman turned the gun on himself when deputies confronted him at his home shortly afterward and died Aug. 2, closing a case the sheriff's office described as a dispute between neighbors.
