An adult male suspect submitted to officers upon their arrival. He was arrested without incident. Officers ascertained that the crime scene includes 4215 W. 26 th Place as well as 4223 West 26th Place. 

An adult female victim was found deceased and another adult female victim was transported by ambulance to Freeman Hospital. Joplin Police Detectives are on scene.

This was not a random crime and there are no other threats to the community at this time.
