Woman Arrested for Hiding Suspect in Canton Double Homicide and Arson

The arrest advances an active murder and arson probe after police say two women found with gunshot wounds and severe burns were likely shot before their apartment was set on fire.

Overview

Two women were found with severe burns and gunshot wounds inside an apartment on the 700 block of Alan Page Drive SE and later died at nearby hospitals, police said.
Investigators concluded the victims were likely shot and then the apartment was set on fire, and they have charged multiple people in the case.
Court records say a 36-year-old woman was arrested after allegedly driving around with named suspect Melissa Terrell and not notifying police that Terrell was with her.
Terrell was earlier taken into custody on charges tied to the deaths while two other suspects face charges including aggravated murder, arson, tampering with evidence, and obstructing justice.
The victims were identified as 42-year-old Katina Spells and 31-year-old Kourtni Yeager and family members have described deep shock and grief as prosecutors continue building evidence and prepare upcoming court appearances.
