In the late hours of a Thursday in Anniston, Alabama, the life of 32-year-old Tysel Kejuan Safford was tragically cut short on March 9, 2017. He was discovered in the 900 block of Mountain Street, having sustained multiple gunshot wounds. Despite being rushed to a nearby hospital, his injuries proved fatal. The violent nature of his death sent ripples of concern through the local community.
Earlier that same day, another man, 25-year-old Anthony Finch, was also found deceased from a gunshot wound in the passenger seat of a vehicle, a mere 350 yards from where Safford's body would later be discovered. This proximity suggested a possible connection between the two homicides, prompting a thorough investigation by the Anniston Police Department. Authorities began to piece together the events of that day, believing a dispute may have escalated to the fatal shootings.
The investigation led to a significant development with the arrest of Larry Demond Woolf. He was subsequently charged with capital murder in connection with the deaths of both Tysel Kejuan Safford and Anthony Finch. The charges alleged his involvement in the fatal shootings of the two men, bringing a sense of potential resolution to the grieving families and the concerned community. This arrest marked a crucial step in the pursuit of justice for the two lives lost.
