A man and a woman have been arrested, charged in last Sunday's fatal shooting in midtown St. Joseph.

The St. Joseph Police Department reports 36-year-old Brian Helm and 23-year-old Melanie Myers have been taken into custody. Both have been charged with 2nd degree murder in the shooting death of 36-year-old Dustin Allen Graham of St. Joseph.

Both are in jail. Bond has been denied.

St. Joseph police consider the shooting death a targeted homicide.

St. Joseph police officers responded to an emergency call about shots being fired near North 20th and Jules Street shortly after noon on the 10th. An officer discovered Graham inside a vehicle in the 1900 block of Jules, suffering from a gunshot wound. Graham was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, but died later.
