On the night of August 7, 2016, violence inside a Forest Park Southeast apartment in St. Louis left two men dead and a third critically injured. Huston Martin, 41, a former probation and parole officer who also taught domestic violence classes, was at his home in the 4200 block of Chouteau Avenue when the shooting occurred. Officers who responded around 11:00 p.m. found a chaotic, bloody scene; Martin and 38-year-old Cory Goodwin had been fatally shot.

A third victim, Huston Martin’s brother Clinton Martin, survived gunshot wounds to his finger, mouth, and chest after being left bleeding on a couch for nearly 20 hours before discovery. Investigators concluded the violence likely arose from an interpersonal dispute. A suspect, 19-year-old Miquis Crumble, was identified and charged; the case moved through the courts and ultimately ended with a conviction and sentence in 2018.

Did anyone in the Forest Park Southeast neighborhood know Huston Martin or have information about what led to that August night?
