Memphis, Tennessee

From the August 1, 2005 Memphis Commericial Appeal:
A man who turned up at Methodist University Hospital with a gunshot wound Thursday night has been accused in the murders of two men earlier that night during a botched robbery.

Steven Lynch Ross, 35, was charged with two counts of first degree murder Sunday in the shooting deaths of Marcelano Lopez, 33, and Candelaro Lopez, 22, Thursday night. Each man was shot several times.

...

Ross and another man attempted to rob a group of men in front of 2523 Harvard about 9:30 p.m. that night when the shooting started.

Marcelano Lopez was found dead in the backyard of the house. Candelaro Lopez died later at the Regional Medical Center at Memphis.

During the shooting, family members of the victims fired several shots. A short time later, Ross came to Methodist University with a gunshot wound in his thigh. Hospital personnel notified police.

Witnesses picked Ross out of a photo spread as one of the shooters.
