Police: Wheaton woman's death likely a botched robbery

ST. LOUIS – A former Saint Louis University volleyball player gunned down while visiting for an alumni game was likely killed during a robbery gone awry, police said Monday.

Megan Boken, 23, sustained gunshot wounds to the neck and chest Saturday afternoon before she was found in her Volkswagen car in St. Louis' tony Central West End section, police spokesman Dave Marzullo said. Boken, a native of Wheaton, Ill., later was declared dead at a hospital.

No arrests had made been made or charges filed as of Monday afternoon. Investigators still were scrambling to sort out witness accounts of the shooting, with hopes of reviewing surveillance footage from the neighborhood.
