Kenneth Emanuel Smith, 49, was found with a gunshot wound to his left torso on March 27, 2020, in the parking lot of The George Apartments in Statesboro, Georgia. Emergency services took him to Memorial University Medical Center in Savannah, where he died a short time later. Authorities described the incident as a home invasion.

Statesboro police executed a search warrant at The Hamptons Apartments on Rucker Lane and say they found evidence of an armed robbery connected to the shooting. Investigators identified a suspect, and United States Marshals later arrested 24-year-old Wanya Malik Anthony of Decatur. He was charged with felony murder, aggravated assault, armed robbery, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. A search of Anthony’s apartment reportedly produced evidence leading to additional charges, including multiple counts of possession with intent to distribute several controlled substances and further firearm counts. Anthony was held without bond at the Bulloch County Jail pending further proceedings.
