Less than a week after police say a man walked into an insurance agency and shot and killed his wife before turning the gun on himself, police are investigating another murder-suicide in the city.
Officers were called to the John B. Hughes Apartments on north Clifton Avenue shortly before 4:00pm Tuesday.
Police found a man and woman dead inside an apartment and four juveniles, who were unharmed.
Investigators say Andrew Calton, 21, Springfield, shot and killed Katrina Dotson, 21, Springfield, then died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
This is Springfield’s 5th homicide of 2025.
