ST. LOUIS — A 74-year-old man is accused of killing a woman and threatening to shoot her son in Dogtown Friday, according to criminal charges.

Police said Kimberly Schneider, 43, was shot during an argument with a man — Melvin Bodine — in his home in the 6700 block of West Park.

Schneider's shooting is the first homicide in the city's Hi-Pointe neighborhood, which makes up part of Dogtown, since at least 2008, according to police records.

Officers arrived at the scene shortly after 1:30 p.m. Friday and found Schneider suffering from a gunshot wound to the head. She was taken to a hospital and died of her injuries the next day.

Bodine turned himself into police, and a gun was recovered, police said Friday.

Bodine was charged Saturday with first-degree assault, armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon. Prosecutors later upgraded the charges to first-degree murder, armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon.

In charging documents, police said Bodine shot Schneider in the head and then ran by her son, pointing a revolver at him and threatening to also shoot him. Bodine went to the south patrol police station and said he'd shot a woman on West Park Avenue and hid the gun, charges say.
