On July 1st, at approximately 8:46 a.m., the Mexico Public Safety Department responded to the 600 block of Eastholm St. in reference to a person found dead in their home by a family member. Officers located a 62-year-old female who had died in her bedroom. It was later determined she had died of fentanyl toxicity. The MPSD investigation led to a case being forwarded to the Audrain County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.
On Tuesday, November 19, arrest warrants were issued for Timothy R. Hoffman, age 45 and Shelbi R Hamilton, age 27. Both warrants were for Murder 2nd degree, Delivery of a Controlled Substance, and some associated charges. Hamilton was arrested at approximately 5:51 p.m. in the 700 block of W Jackson and taken to the Audrain County Jail without incident. Hoffman is currently in the Missouri Department of Corrections for unrelated offenses.
