Anthony Oneal Easterling, a 35-year-old man, was tragically killed on May 14, 2021, in San Antonio, Texas. He was found fatally shot in a hotel room at the Star Inn Hotel on the city's far West Side. The Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed that Easterling died from a gunshot wound to the head, and the incident was investigated as a homicide.
An 18-year-old girl named Amari Daijanea Gardner was taken into custody in connection with Easterling's death.
According to police reports, Gardner turned herself in at a police substation after a witness provided a description of a possible suspect vehicle seen fleeing the scene. She was subsequently charged with murder.
The case was prosecuted by the Criminal Trial Division in the 144th District Court. Gardner was indicted for intentionally and knowingly causing Easterling's death by shooting him with a firearm. Murder is a first-degree felony, punishable by 5 to 99 years or life in prison, and a possible fine of up to $10,000.
This tragic event has left many questions unanswered, as the exact circumstances leading up to the shooting remain unclear. The investigation continues as authorities work to piece together the events of that fateful night.
