KIRKSVILLE, Mo. (AP) — A third person has died from injuries she suffered in a shooting in Kirksville last month, Adair County officials said.

Alissa Anders, 18, of Kirksville, died Tuesday at a Columbia hospital after being taken off life support, Adair County Coroner Brian Noe said.

Anders was pregnant and her child was delivered alive before she died, KTVO-TV reported.

She was one of four people shot at a Kirksville apartment on Dec. 30. Two of the victims, 18-month-old Parker Sizemore and 22-year-old Braxton Cottrill, died at the scene.

Randall Yarrington, 21, survived after being treated for gunshot wounds to the chest, according to court documents.

Rios was arrested at his Kirksville home on Jan. 2. Glover was arrested Jan. 10 in the Belton area.

Police have not released a possible motive for the shooting. They have said the suspects and victims knew each other.
