Torrance Epps, 79, pleaded guilty Monday to a reduced charge of second-degree murder for fatally shooting Tiandra Johnson, 32,
while he rolled his wheelchair through a senior housing complex where he lived on Jan. 19,
the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
Epps told St. Louis Circuit Judge Dennis Schaumann that he shot Johnson because he thought she entered his apartment with a backup key from the complex’s office to steal from him. Johnson was later found dead in a hallway at the Lafayette Towne senior housing complex.
Sounds like he thought he was exercising his 2nd Amendment rights and protecting himself.
