On November 28, 2019, 17-year-old Earle Key Jr. was shot and killed at an apartment at 1308 West McCarty Street in Jefferson City, Missouri. According to reports, a man knocked at the door, and when the door was opened a 9 mm handgun was fired, striking Key in the face and killing him at the scene.

The person identified in connection with the shootings was 27-year-old Torry Andre Upchurch. After the attack at the apartment, he went to a different location and shot 33-year-old Shantae Hill-Cook multiple times while she was in a vehicle. Upchurch then drove the second victim’s car to the Jefferson City Police Department, entered the lobby in blood-stained clothing and surrendered, reportedly saying he had just killed two people.

What can anyone who knew Earle or was in that neighborhood on November 28, 2019, add about his movements that day or about the disturbance at the apartment door?
