A violent early-morning home invasion in North St. Louis County ended in the death of 41-year-old Tommie Daniels on Easter Sunday, March 27, 2016. Officers who responded to a house in the 10400 block of Duke Drive in the Castle Point neighborhood around 6:10 a.m. found Daniels inside with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say the attacker forced entry through the front door and opened fire. Detectives reported the residence’s contents were left undisturbed, a detail that led them to treat the shooting as targeted rather than a random robbery. Charges were filed against a suspect identified as Robert Simpson, and authorities described him as armed and dangerous while seeking his capture.

If anyone in the Castle Point area remembers unusual activity that morning or has information that could help locate Robert Simpson, contact the St. Louis County Police Department.
