19-year-old man charged in death of 17-year-old girlfriend.

A horrifying incident between a 17-year-old girl and her 19-year-old boyfriend came to light through a FaceTime call. On Nov. 12, Amauri Hughes’ body was found.

A family member received a FaceTime call from the 17-year-old girl showing her “sitting on a couch with her hands in the air, in what was described as a surrender position,” according to the Circuit Court of Jackson County. During the call, Tyheem V. Anderson reportedly asked Hughes, “You scared of me?”

A struggle allegedly followed, and then the call dropped. After receiving the call, a relative tracked the location of the girl’s phone, went to the site and called the Grandview Police Department. Hughes was found with “having trauma to her body to include what appeared to be stab wounds, a gunshot wound, bruises, cuts, abrasions and broken teeth,” said Detective Johnathan Cook, who arrived on the scene.

Anderson was arrested Nov. 14th and charged with three criminal felony counts. He was charged with assault in the first degree, armed criminal action and kidnapping, according to the documents. A press release mentioned that additional charges are being explored.

It turns out Anderson had previous run-ins with the court. A Jackson County Judge had ordered a temporary, turned full order protection request for Anderson’s child and the mother of the child due to evidence showing he was a risk to their safety.

Upon investigation of the scene, the detective reported “a large presence of blood was indicated throughout the residence to include areas on the wall, kitchen floor, a laundry room and hallway,” when the chemical luminol was used, which resulted in a blue glow that revealed blood stains that had been cleaned up. When investigators went through Anderson’s residence, blood was found in different areas of the home. A knife, a spent shell casing, and a human tooth were also found at the scene.

In an interview with police, Anderson said he was made aware of Hughes’ death after a family member contacted him. He described the events that unfolded as an argument over something he saw on the young woman’s phone, which led to him throwing the phone to the ground and breaking it before he called her an Uber to go home. He denied any physical violence between the pair, and denied killing the victim.

Hughes, a native of Kansas City, MO, had been sneaking out of her home to visit her boyfriend. Anderson is due for a bond review hearing in court on Nov. 27. The case is an ongoing investigation.
