On the morning of January 19, 2017, Tiandra Johnson, 32, was shot and killed inside the leasing office of a senior housing complex in South St. Louis, Missouri. She worked as the property manager and was confronted by a resident who accused her of stealing from him. The resident, who used a wheelchair, produced a firearm and fatally shot Johnson.

Police identified the shooter as 78-year-old Torrance Epps, a resident of the complex. Epps was a convicted felon with a long criminal history, including a 1973 triple homicide for which he served 14 years of a 30-year sentence before being paroled. Authorities arrested Epps and charged him in connection with Johnson’s death.

Later court events resulted in a guilty plea to reduced charges of second-degree murder and armed criminal action, and Epps received an 18-year prison sentence. Does anyone have information about Tiandra’s work at the complex or recollections from that morning that could add context to what happened?
