(KAIR)--Three suspects in a St. Joseph, Missouri shooting are in custody following a brief vehicle chase by the Missouri State Highway Patrol that ended with a rollover crash.
Law enforcement had been looking for the suspects following a shooting Thursday morning in downtown St. Joseph that left one person injured.
The chase lasted about two or three minutes and ended shortly before 11 a.m. after the suspects’ vehicle rolled in a ditch in a rural area of Platte County. All four occupants took off running after the crash, with all but one man located and taken into custody. He remains free.
According to a report from the Patrol, the 2002 Ford Escape carrying the suspects crashed Thursday morning on Platte County's North Winan Road, just north of Highway 92.
The vehicle, driven by 30-year-old Marcel Smith, of Leavenworth, turned south onto Winan Road, but overturned, injuring two passengers.
20-year-old Sidney Darrenkamp, of Atchison, and 33-year-old Melissa Ross, of Leavenworth, suffered minor injuries and were transported to North Kansas City Hospital for treatment.
