Pre-trial motions began Wednesday in the case against Antonio “A.J.” Armstrong, the man accused of shooting and killing his parents at their southwest Houston home six years ago.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys are gearing up for a third trial for A.J., who was only 16 years old when his parents, former NFL player Antonio Armstrong Sr. and Dawn Armstrong, were murdered as they quietly slept at their home in the 5300 block of Palmetto Street on July 28, 2016.
Prosecutors intended to show that A.J. was embroiled in conflict with his parents over failing grades and poor behavior. They said that the murders were committed by someone who was already inside the home, claiming that neither the burglar alarm system nor any other evidence showed signs of forced entry.
In October 2022, during the second trial, a judge ruled another mistrial after the jury was unable to reach a verdict in the capital murder case. In that case, defense attorneys pointed out inaccuracies with the family’s home alarm system and even presented evidence that A.J.’s older brother could have been the killer.
