On Thursday, during day three of the trial, jurors heard from three additional witnesses. The first witness was a Houston police officer who was one of the first people on the scene of the Armstrong’s home in 2016.
Antonio ‘A.J.’ Armstrong Jr. is now back in court after he was accused of shooting and killing his parents, Dawn and Antonio Armstrong Sr., while they slept in their home back in 2016. He was 16 years old at the time.
During his first trial in April 2019, a mistrial was declared after jurors were unable to reach a unanimous decision. Prosecutors told jurors that throughout the weeks-long trial they will hear evidence that supports the home being locked with alarms and motion sensors activated. They said the only other people inside the home were AJ and his sister, and that their brother Joshua was not at the home.
The defense says, in contrast, AJ had a great relationship with his parents and showed pictures to jurors to try and display that. Tuesday started with the continuation of the prior day’s testimony involving a Houston police lieutenant. The law enforcement officer was one of the first to arrive at the townhome in southwest Houston. He testified he had officers separate AJ and his sister, Kayra because he believed the murderer was inside the house and not an intruder.
A Houston police sergeant was the third to take the stand. He testified that he was the one that opened a back door to allow other officers entry into the kitchen. The sergeant testified that a female officer had picked up a pistol that was left on the kitchen counter with her bare hands. He said he informed her to put the gun back and to document that as supplemental data for the police report but, she never did.A former homicide detective with HPD was the fourth witness to take the stand.
