Correction: Police Shooting-St Louis-Inquiry story
ST. LOUIS — In a story Dec. 5 about an investigation into whether DNA evidence was withheld in a wrongful-death civil case related to a St. Louis police shooting, The Associated Press indicated erroneously that the St. Louis Board of Police Commissioners was a city entity. The board was a state entity at the time that the DNA evidence was provided to the board in 2012.
A corrected version of the story is below:
