OVERLAND • A man was fatally shot  and a woman was injured as they sat in a car outside a friend's home in Overland on Tuesday night, police say.

No arrests have been made.

Overland Police Chief Michael Laws said the 19-year-old man died at a hospital shortly after the 9:30 p.m. shooting in the 9900 block of Baltimore Avenue. A neighbor who heard the shots called police.

The man was shot more than once, Laws said. His name has not been released.

Laws said he did not know the woman's medical condition. She also was shot more than once but, at the scene, she was walking around after being shot, Laws said.

Laws asked the Major Case Squad to help with the investigation, and the squad of detectives is being headed by Capt. Charles Milano of the Des Peres Police Department.

On Wednesday morning, Laws said police are following numerous leads but haven't identified a suspect yet.

Laws said it's "too early to tell for sure" if the victims were targeted.
