On January 13, 2019, officers conducting a welfare check at a Calverton Park, Missouri, residence found the body of 68-year-old Kenneth Alvern Linzie in a garage behind the home on Williams Boulevard. Linzie, a Berkeley, Missouri resident, had fatal gunshot wounds and his death was investigated as a homicide. The Major Case Squad of Greater St. Louis was activated to assist the local department.

Investigators developed leads pointing to a resident of the property. The day after the discovery, authorities identified 53-year-old Jeffrey E. Tod as a person of interest and took him into custody; he was later charged with second-degree murder and armed criminal action in connection with Linzie’s death. Ballistics testing reportedly matched bullets recovered from Linzie to a pistol found in Tod’s home, and witnesses said they had seen Tod driving the victim’s vehicle around the time of the slaying.

If anyone knew Kenneth Linzie or saw activity on Williams Boulevard in early January 2019, please share what was observed with investigators.
