Tyrone Armstrong, 42, was found fatally shot at a residence on Thekla Avenue in St. Louis on April 3, 2022. The scene initially suggested a self-inflicted wound, but investigators later concluded the circumstances were inconsistent with suicide and the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department’s homicide division took over the inquiry.

Detectives focused on a single suspect, 42-year-old Denise Bartlett, who lived on the same block as Armstrong. Investigators developed a case that led them to seek first-degree murder charges, although the circuit attorney’s office ultimately issued warrants for second-degree murder and armed criminal action. Warrants were issued at large for Bartlett’s arrest.

What details about Armstrong’s death or his connection to Bartlett haven’t been made public that might help clarify what happened?
