It's been seven years since Antonio Sr. and Dawn Armstrong were shot to death as they slept. Despite two trials so far, the double murders are still an open case.
ABC13's Courtney Fischer takes you inside the AJ Armstrong case seven years after the murders of Dawn and Antonio Armstrong.It's been seven years since Antonio Sr. and Dawn Armstrong were shot to death, and their then-16 year-old son, Antonio Jr., was charged with killing them.On Thursday, Armstrong's defense team delivered a couple cartloads of boxes and poster boards to the 178th District Court.
But investigators say the killer could have only come from inside the house. According to court paperwork, the Armstrong home on Palmetto Street in southwest Houston had a security alarm on that Armstrong had to disarm when police arrived to the house just before 2 a.m., after Armstrong called 911 to report hearing "gunshots from his parents' bedroom downstairs." Armstrong's bedroom was on the third floor. Dawn and Antonio Sr. slept on the second floor.
A 22 caliber handgun was found on the kitchen counter next to a note that read: "I HAVE BEEN WATCHING FOR A LONG TIME. GET ME." Investigators have testified in previous trials that no DNA or fingerprints were found on the gun. Police say the gun used to kill the Armstrongs was registered to Antonio Sr. and he kept it in his nightstand.
