Our earlier story:
ST. LOUIS
Two people with gunshot wounds to their upper bodies were found dead Wednesday night inside a car that crashed into a light post and came to a stop on Interstate 70.
The victims were identified today as Adrian Bivens, 32, the driver, and his girlfriend, Latongia Bowens, 26, both of St. Louis.
St. Louis police were investigating the crash and deaths as a potential murder-suicide. Witnesses told police that the victims\' white Pontiac Grand Am was heading east about 7:30 p.m. on Bircher Boulevard, a service road along the south side of I-70 in St. Louis, just west of O\'Fallon Park.
Witnesses told police the car then went out of control and plowed through a chain link fence separating Bircher from the eastbound lanes of I-70. The car struck a light pole and came to a stop in the eastbound lanes, about 75 feet beyond where it broke through the fence.
Two cars traveling east on I-70 had to swerve sharply to avoid the Pontiac. Those drivers stopped and were providing information to police.
The witnesses said they didn\'t hear any gunshots. Shattered glass was spread across Bircher Boulevard where the Grand Am struck the chain link fence.
Police were continuing to investigate Wednedsay night.
\"It\'s too early to tell whether we can classify this as a murder-suicide,\" police Lt. Col. Roy Joachimstaler said.
Traffic was shut down in the eastbound lanes of I-70 and on Bircher Boulevard.
