Alaysia Hart was 20 when she was shot and killed on February 21, 2021, at an Exxon gas station at 220 S. Dixie Highway in Pompano Beach, Florida. The shooting happened around 5 a.m. while she was in a car with three friends; two others were injured — one taken to Broward Health North, the other treated and released.
Investigators identified 35-year-old convicted felon Anthony Eason as the primary suspect. Ballistics and DNA evidence were reported to connect Eason to the shooting, and a warrant was issued charging him with manslaughter, attempted manslaughter, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Eason had been released from prison on October 1, 2020, after serving 15 years for armed carjacking, robbery, and battery.
Eason was shot in a separate incident in Miami on July 4, 2021, and died of his injuries on July 16, 2021; the Broward Sheriff’s Office classified Alaysia’s case as a homicide and exceptionally cleared it. Her family, including grandmother Zoraida Rosado, continued to grieve and sought answers about Alaysia’s death.
