Killer Shows Up Dead In Motel Room


"SIKESTON, MO — Police say a husband and wife are dead after a murder-suicide in Sikeston Friday afternoon.

"Investigators say 34-year-old Solomon Moroney Hill shot and killed his wife, 30-year-old Kristie Hill, before killing himself.

"Sgt. Jim McMillen with Sikeston DPS says it appears some sort of domestic argument sparked the shooting at 1805 Indiana Ave. He says the couple had recently separated.

"When officers arrived, they found a 30-year-old Kristie Lyn Hill dead in the hallway with multiple gunshot wounds.

"`It appears to be some type of domestic issue, domestic argument that just got out of hand,` said McMillen.

"Witnesses at a business across the street saw Hill's SUV leave the scene.

"Police say Solomon Hill abandoned the vehicle at a convenience store just a block away.

"Officers later found the man dead in a motel with a single gunshot wound."

  1. I just have to wonder if it was the Motel 6, but neither this nor subsequent articles would identify the motel.

    Also, Google is somewhat confused about where the Motel 6 is. Its address is listed as being in Sikeston, but it's squarely in Miner according to their map.
