Anthony Harris, a 29-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on February 18, 2017, in the 1600 block of Northeast Fourth Court in Boynton Beach, Florida. Harris was shot twice in the head and was pronounced dead at the scene. Another man, Jeffrey Whigham, 45, was wounded when he sustained a gunshot to his arm during the same incident outside a residence.

Investigators say Shedrick Lamont Moss, 35, of Boynton Beach was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and attempted robbery in connection with Harris’s death. Police allege Moss and another unidentified man returned to Harris’s home after an earlier argument that day; three tipsters identified Moss and the other man as the perpetrators, and one tipster said the other man fired the fatal shots. Moss initially denied involvement but later confessed, directing police to a handgun hidden at his grandmother’s house that was recovered wrapped in a shirt inside a cinderblock.

A judge denied Moss bond on the murder and attempted robbery charges and ordered no contact with the victim’s family; release conditions included a prohibition on possessing weapons. The investigation remains open as authorities seek information about the second suspect. If anyone has information about that person or the shooting, please come forward.
