Two men who forced their way into a Taylorsville apartment complex to intimidate a man who lived there wreaked havoc on the victim’s roommates and 4-year-old child before killing him, court documents say.
The documents, filed Thursday in 3rd District Court, reveal more about what happened Dec. 10 in the moments before 30-year-old Toussaint “TJ” L’Overture Tyler Jr. was killed.
The altercation started about 10 a.m., when 49-year-old Tonita Vianay Rico, who is also known as having the last name Espinoza, knocked on Tyler’s apartment door. Tyler’s girlfriend answered, and two men pushed their way inside, according to court documents.
