The St. Joseph Police Department is still searching for a person of interest in connection with a double-shooting earlier this month that sent two men to the hospital.

As we previously reported, officers responded Sunday May 15 around 10:30 a.m. to 924 Prospect Ave. on a report of a man having been shot.

“Upon their arrival they discovered that two white males’ ages, 43 and 59 had been wounded by gun fire,” said Capt. Jeff Wilson.

The next day Owen Lee Roberts Jr., 32 was listed at an individual being sought as a person of interest in the case. The St. Joseph Police Department said Roberts should be considered armed and dangerous.  They are urging the public not to approach him but to call law enforcement officials. Roberts is described as being 5’6”, 160 lbs. brown hair and hazel eyes. He may be driving a 2005 Dodge pickup truck, blue in color, bearing Missouri license 4YP552.

As of Monday morning Capt. Wilson said one man has been released from the hospital but the other was still being treated for serious injury at KU.
