Here are the top stories today in St. Louis:

1. St. Louis City Police are looking for suspects in connection to three cellphone store robberies across St. Louis. The three robberies all occurred within a 30-day timespan and targeted the Boost Mobile store on Page Blvd. and the T-Mobile store on Lindell Blvd. twice, along with the Metro PCS in the 3900 block of Lindell Blvd. Multiple suspects are involved and were armed at the time of the robberies.

2. Prosecutors have dropped a charge of abandoning a corpse against a Missouri woman who was arrested in connection with a 2018 stabbing. Abigail Miller, of Webster Groves, was charged in connection with the stabbing and death of 33-year-old Justin Hughes behind a suburban St. Louis Walmart. Police said Hughes and Miller had met up with a third person, now jailed Robin Holland, of Spirit Lake, Iowa, behind the store in Shrewsbury on July 15, 2018, to do drugs when an argument broke out and Holland repeatedly stabbed Hughes. The case against Miller was dismissed after prosecutors determined that they could not prove all of the elements required for a conviction (KMOV.com)
