On July 5, 2019, 48-year-old Lynn Patrick Armstrong was found unresponsive on the living room floor of a south Kansas City apartment in the 9300 block of Myrtle Avenue. Officers arrived about 4:45 a.m.; paramedics later pronounced Armstrong dead at the scene. Investigators suspected foul play and later determined Armstrong had sustained a gunshot wound to his arm that corresponded with a wound in his upper chest. Four spent shell casings were recovered from the apartment bedroom.

Police say the incident followed a domestic dispute. Stevie D. Rambo, 54, had argued with his girlfriend over a missing gun earlier in the night. The girlfriend spoke with Armstrong outside rather than go inside with Rambo, and witnesses say Armstrong fired a handgun into the air three times after a confrontation. Rambo later returned, entered the girlfriend’s bedroom, struck her in the head with a handgun, and she escaped by jumping from a window. Armstrong was found dead after she went back inside. Rambo turned himself in the same day; bloodlike material was observed on his shoes and a warrant was later issued charging him with second-degree murder.

Are there readers who saw activity around Myrtle Avenue that morning or who remember Armstrong and can share what they know?
