A welfare check on October 17, 2022, at an apartment in the 8700 block of Chestnut Circle in south Kansas City uncovered two bodies and opened a double homicide investigation. Neighbors had grown concerned after mail and packages piled up at the door. Inside the Santa Fe Hills apartment officers found 26-year-old Austin Scott and his 33-year-old cousin Chantell Gipson in separate bedrooms; both had suffered apparent trauma and were pronounced dead at the scene and later classified as homicides.

Investigators recovered spent shell casings from the apartment. Authorities identified Chantell Gipson’s boyfriend, 28-year-old Glenn A. Pulluaim II, as a person of interest and later charged him with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of armed criminal action. Prosecutors cited Pulluaim’s DNA profile on the spent casings as part of the evidence. Pulluaim turned himself in after being sought by police; he previously served a seven-year sentence for a 2013 double homicide voluntary manslaughter conviction.

Did anyone in the Santa Fe Hills area see activity at the Chestnut Circle apartment in the days before October 17, 2022?
