ST. LOUIS (AP) - St. Louis police say a stalker was responsible for killing a woman in the city's Dogtown neighborhood and critically injuring her boyfriend.

Tequila Sandford, a nurse, was shot to death outside of her condo on Dec. 27.

Her current boyfriend was shot in the head but survived.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the suspect is in custody but not yet charged.

Police allege the suspect, a former boyfriend who was the father of Sandford's child, called Sandford about 150 times in the 12 hours before she was killed.
