June 28, 2024

ST. LOUIS, MO (June 27, 2024) — A jury found Deandre Walton, 43, guilty Thursday of two counts of first-degree murder for the fatal shootings of Thomas Anderson III, 44, and Tyler Vaughn, 32, in the city’s North Pointe neighborhood on February 28, 2022. Walton was also found guilty of two counts of armed criminal action.


Anderson was found on February 28, 2022, 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.

“As a result of the diligent efforts of our prosecutors, another violent felon will no longer be able to wreak havoc on the streets of our city,” said Circuit Attorney Gabe Gore.


Walton is scheduled to be sentenced on August 1, 2024. Punishment for first-degree murder in Missouri is life in prison without the possibility of parole. The range of punishment for armed criminal action is three to 15 years in prison.
