In the fading light of a December afternoon in Anniston, Alabama, a young man’s life was cut short in a burst of violence that echoed through the community. Zondrick Foster, a 22-year-old male, was fatally shot on December 14, 2017, in what authorities have described as a drug-related robbery gone wrong. The incident unfolded at a local gas station, a place of routine comings and goings that was transformed into a scene of tragedy.
Another individual was also critically injured in the shooting, sustaining a gunshot wound to the head.
The investigation into Foster’s death swiftly led to the identification of two suspects. DeMario “Zoo” Burnett and Damien Cortez Curry were subsequently arrested and faced charges in connection with the homicide. Burnett was charged with capital murder, a charge that reflects the gravity of the alleged crime, indicating that the murder occurred during the commission of another felony, in this case, a robbery. Curry also faced charges related to his alleged involvement in the incident that led to Foster’s death.
Following their arrests, both Burnett and Curry were booked into the county jail as they awaited legal proceedings. The case sent ripples of concern through the Anniston community, highlighting the devastating impact of drug-related violence. While the initial arrests brought a sense of progress in the quest for justice for Zondrick Foster, the final resolution of the cases against the accused remains a chapter yet to be fully written in the public record.
