On the morning of July 30, 2019, Delores Kirk, 58, was found dead in her Pagedale, Missouri home near St. Charles Rock Road and Engelholm Avenue after a domestic dispute with her boyfriend. Family members in the house heard an argument around 6:30 a.m.; officers arrived about 9:00 a.m. and found Kirk deceased from gunshot wounds. Her daughter Ciarra Kirk discovered the scene and reported seeing the boyfriend, identified as Jurvan Butler, near the victim.

Police say Butler produced a firearm and fired multiple times. Investigators documented a history of domestic violence between the couple. Butler was taken into custody and prosecutors later filed felony charges including second-degree murder, armed criminal action, tampering with physical evidence, and unlawful possession of a weapon.

Anyone who knew Delores Kirk, the couple, or who has information about the events that morning is asked to share what they remember.
