Missouri Woman Accused Of Chasing Down Sister’s Stolen Car & Shooting Both Occupants While Car Was On Fire

A Missouri woman has been accused of chasing down a stolen car and shooting the two people inside of the car as it was already burning in flames.

According to the Kansas City Star, Francesca Jones, 32, was allegedly driving through a suburban area in St. Louis when she reportedly spotted a familiar car passing by her.

Upon recognizing that the car was her sister’s Dodge Challenger that had been stolen a day before, she began chasing the car down.

Despite Jones having 3 children in the car with her, she told investigators that she initially intended to ram into the back of the Dodge to force the occupants to stop. But neighbors, the woman’s intentions did not go as planned.

As the chase went on, the Dodge allegedly ended up crashing into a truck at an intersection, causing it to catch fire, police say.

Before the two occupants could escape the burning wreck, Jones reportedly got out of her car and walked over to the Dodge and shot both people inside.

No further details about a court hearing have been released.
