St. Louis, MO – A south St. Louis smoke shop is under investigation Monday after a police search uncovered drugs, cash, and a rifle following a recent shooting involving two people.
According to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, detectives executed a search warrant at the Furr Smoke Shop and Market on April 20 after two individuals were shot at the location the night before.
