On March 31, 2016, in Arnold, Missouri, 82-year-old Irma Hipp was shot and killed inside her home during the early morning hours. Police reports say an argument occurred around 5:00 a.m. between Irma and her husband, 83-year-old Edwin Hipp. Investigators were told Irma allegedly retrieved a handgun from a recliner, and that Edwin struggled with her, wrested the weapon away and shot her twice. He did not immediately call for emergency medical help and was later arrested.

Prosecutors charged Edwin Hipp with second-degree murder and armed criminal action. In December 2018 he pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. At sentencing in February 2019, a 20-year prison term was suspended under a plea agreement and he was given five years of probation with house arrest, allowed to leave only for specified medical and legal appointments.
