FAUCETT -Law enforcement officials are investigating after 36-year-old Andrew Clary was shot and killed early Saturday morning at a home located in the 12000 Southeast State, Hwy A in St. Joseph, Missouri.
33-year-old Amanda Simpson was also shot and was initially taken to Mosaic Life Care in critical condition but has since been transported to a Kansas City Hospital.
According to Buchanan County Under Sheriff Bill Puett the suspect, identified as 34-year-old Daron Simpson allegedly drove a vehicle into the garage door then entered the residence where Clary and Amanda Simpson lived and into their bedroom where he fired a handgun at the victims just before 2 a.m.
“Upon arrival patrol deputies observed an overhead garage door that appeared to be struck by a vehicle completely knocking the door from its rails,” said Puett. “This appeared to be the point that allowed the suspect, identified as Daron Simpson to enter the residence.”
Daron turned himself into police custody early this morning and is being held under investigation of murder.
“The investigation is ongoing, we’ve had officers and investigators out all night,” said Puett. “The case will be submitted to the prosecuting attorney this afternoon and the prosecutor will review that.”
Daron was identified by family members of Clary who did not wish to be identified as Amanda’s Ex-Husband. Family also said that Daron had already remarried.

Puett said Amanda is currently in stable condition and is expected to live.
