Anthony Killings, a 24-year-old man, was tragically killed on August 5, 2019, when a stray bullet entered his apartment in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, as he slept. The incident occurred at the Parker 301 Apartments on Helen Keller Boulevard. Killings was not involved in the altercation that led to the gunfire.
The shooting stemmed from a robbery and suspected drug-related dispute that took place outside of Killings' apartment building.
Investigators determined that a bullet from this incident penetrated the wall of Killings' apartment, striking and killing him. His family and friends became concerned when they were unable to reach him and discovered his body in his bed.
Two suspects were arrested in connection with the shooting that resulted in Anthony Killings' death. Krisshod K'tyse La'Nard Fritz, 22, and Demarlio Wayshawn Robertson, 23, were taken into custody. They faced multiple charges, including murder, robbery, firing into an occupied dwelling, and second-degree assault.
Further details on the legal proceedings and the final outcome of the charges against Demarlio Wayshawn Robertson are not readily available in the public record. One of the suspects, Krisshod Fritz, died on March 7, 2024, before a final resolution in his case could be reached.
