In the late summer of 2018, the life of Justin Wittrock, a 29-year-old Caucasian male, came to a tragic and sudden end in his Versailles, Missouri home. On the evening of August 12, police responded to a call on W. Williamson Street and discovered Wittrock deceased from a single gunshot wound. The circumstances surrounding the shooting were not immediately clear, casting a somber shadow over the quiet community.
Present at the residence at the time of the incident was his girlfriend, 30-year-old Angela Keefe, who also lived at the home. In the immediate aftermath of the discovery, Keefe was taken into custody. However, the initial charge against her was not directly related to Wittrock's death. Instead, she was arrested and charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, a serious offense given her prior criminal history.
Following the initial events, an autopsy was scheduled to determine the precise cause and manner of Wittrock's death. Law enforcement officials began an investigation to piece together the moments leading up to the fatal gunshot. Despite the initial arrest of Angela Keefe on the firearm charge, details regarding any further charges or a definitive conclusion to the investigation into Justin Wittrock's death have not been made publicly available. The case remains a somber memory in the community, with the full story of that August evening largely untold.
