Newlywed IL DOC Officer Allissa Martin ID’d As MO Victim In 7-Story Fall At Busch Stadium Sunday, Husband, Fellow Officer Bradley Jenkin Under Arrest

ST. LOUIS, MO. (THECOUNT) — Newlywed, Allissa Martin, 27, has been identified as the woman killed in a fall while attending a St. Louis Cardinals game on Sunday night.

Bradley Jenkin, 30, Martin’s husband since May, was arrested on Sunday and charged with third-degree domestic assault after Martin fell to her death from an elevated parking structure at Busch Stadium, in downtown St. Louis on Sunday.

The entire incident, including the victim’s fatal fall, was captured on her cell phone which was recording video, according to police. Jenkins and Martin both worked for the Illinois Department of Corrections. Jenkins was hired in 2010 and was a lieutenant. Martin was hired in 2017.

Jenkins later admitted to police that he and his wife had been arguing at the game after a 911 call came in around 1:45 a.m. Sunday morning to reports of an injured individual near the Stadium East parking garage.

Upon arrival to 251 South Broadway, police discovered Martin’s body laying on the ramp.

Jenkins was straddling her body, covered in blood and appeared to be intoxicated, according to arriving officials.

Investigators later located Martin’s cell phone on the seventh floor of the garage, still recording.

When officers reviewed the recording, it showed Martin pointing the camera at herself. She then turned it toward Jenkins. Police say during the recording Martin can be heard yelling at Jenkins to quit punching her face. She eventually drops the phone. Shortly after she drops her phone, she can be heard screaming as she falls. Police say the sound of her landing on the ground below is audible on the recording, reports KMOV.

Investigators say Jenkins initially lied about incident until presented with his bride’s cell phone video of the deadly incident.

Jenkins was taken into custody and charged with third-degree domestic assault following the woman’s death. His cash-only bond was set at $100,000.

An autopsy has been ordered and police say they will later determine whether murder charges should be brought against Jenkins.
