A premeditated attack in Aurora, Missouri, ended in the death of 53-year-old Troy Eugene Huffman on the evening of January 22, 2025. Once he arrived, Santiago reportedly sent the child to a bedroom and retrieved a hidden .38 caliber revolver. She fired multiple rounds, fatally wounding Huffman, then moved his body to clear the doorway, took his keys and left in his vehicle.

Santiago is said to have driven Huffman’s car into Carroll County, Arkansas, where she shot two more people, killing a woman and critically wounding a man. She then returned to Missouri, called authorities from the Aurora Police and Fire Facility parking lot to confess, and was arrested; officers later found Huffman’s body in the apartment. Charges listed included first-degree murder, first-degree robbery, armed criminal action and endangering the welfare of a child.

If anyone knew Troy, his movements that night, or has information about the events in Aurora or Carroll County, please share what is known with investigators.
