In the spring of 2014, a death in St. Louis turned into a domestic homicide investigation. On April 23, 2014, officers conducting a welfare check at a Pope Avenue residence found 56-year-old Joyce Boxx deceased from multiple gunshot wounds to her head and torso. The scene was secured and an investigation began.

Joyce Boxx’s 32-year-old son, Courtney Cunningham, was at the home and was arrested there; the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office charged him with first-degree murder and armed criminal action. Cunningham was held in jail without bond after the charges were filed.

If anyone knew Joyce Boxx or has information about what happened at the Pope Avenue residence, please share what might help this investigation.
