297: [FREE Weekly Episode] AJ Armstrong- Parent Killer or Wrongfully Convicted?

The Houston Police Department received a 911 call in the early morning hours of July 29th, 2016, from a very calm 16-year-old. AJ Armstrong told the dispatcher that he’d heard gunshots in his parents’ room downstairs and that he was now hiding in the closet of his third floor bedroom. When officers arrived, they found AJ’s mother, Dawn, dead in her bed, from two gunshot wounds to the head. AJ’s father, Antonio, had also suffered a gunshot wound to the head, but was clinging to life. Both AJ and his 12-year-old sister were unharmed. Less than 24 hours later, AJ was charged with the capital murder of both of his parents. Was he responsible for their brutal slayings, or had a masked intruder really just gotten THAT lucky to get away with a double murder?
