On July 27, 2022, at 1:23 a.m., Central District General Patrol officers, with the assistance of the Tactical Support team, responded to a suite of an apartment building in the 400 block of Kennedy Street for a report of a female that was going to shoot someone.
Upon arrival, officers located two suspects and placed them under arrest.
A third suspect (Anderson) fled to a balcony and onto the roof of the building – where he was placed under arrest and found to be in possession of a .22 calibre handgun and 19 "rocks" of crack cocaine (with an estimated street value of $480).
A search of the apartment suite resulted in the seizure of a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun.
Members of the Major Crimes Unit continued with the investigation. It is believed that an argument involving the suite's occupants escalated to a point where two suspects armed themselves – with one suspect pointing the shotgun at an adult female victim and the other loading the handgun with ammunition before police arrival.
