ST. LOUIS, MO (September 16, 2024) — Deandre Walton, 43, was sentenced to two consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole, along with two additional consecutive 15-year sentences, for the murders of two men in the city’s North Pointe neighborhood on February 28, 2022. Walton was also given a seven-year sentence for unlawful possession of a firearm, to run concurrently with his other sentences.

In August, a jury found Walton guilty of two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of armed criminal action for the fatal shootings of Thomas Anderson III, 44, and Tyler Vaughn, 32. Police found Anderson the night of February 28 on a lawn in the 4800 block of Norwich Place with a fatal bullet wound to the head. Vaughn was found the next morning about 100 feet away in the 4900 block of Goodfellow Avenue with a fatal gunshot wound to his shoulder.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant Circuit Attorneys Adam Field and Timothy Wright and Chief Trial Attorney Marvin O. Teer, Jr.
