Tywan Jeremiah Armstrong, 39, was shot to death on January 21, 2019, in Saint Petersburg, Florida. The killing occurred in front of a large crowd at a gas station while Armstrong sat in his car; he was struck 28 times by rounds from an AR-15 rifle and a .40 caliber pistol and died at the scene despite emergency response from the St. Petersburg Police Department and St. Petersburg Fire Rescue.

Investigators say the killing was part of a murder-for-hire plot driven by local drug-business conflicts. Kermon Williams, known as The General, reportedly viewed Armstrong as a threat and hired James Higgs Jr., known as Hammer, and Jhaphre Higgs, known as Pre, to carry out the attack. The Higgs brothers were allegedly paid with cash and drugs and supplied with the weapons used.

The case resulted in convictions on charges including conspiracy to commit murder for hire, drug conspiracy, and using a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, with sentencing set for September 27, 2022. Did anyone witness activity around that gas station on January 21, 2019, or have information about the threat Armstrong faced beforehand?
