ST. LOUIS • A man and woman were found shot to death early Tuesday near a stolen motorcycle in the Carondelet neighborhood in St. Louis.

Police said they were shot at about 1 a.m. in the 200 block of Bellerive Boulevard, near Minnesota Avenue.

Megan Nieder, 27, and Joseph Finger, 40, were killed. Nieder lived in the 7400 block of Gayola Place in Maplewood. Finger's address was in the 8400 block of Pennsylvania Avenue in St. Louis, in the Patch neighborhood south of the shooting scene.

Police spokeswoman Leah Freeman said it's unclear if Nieder and Finger were riding the motorcycle when they were shot. The motorcycle, reported stolen in September, was confiscated by police and will be part of the homicide investigation.

Officers went to the scene on Bellerive after getting a report of a shooting. They found Nieder and Finger on the ground, dead. A suspect ran off, but police have no description of that person.
