Anahitdeep Singh Sandhu was a 20-year-old U.S. Marine from Kent, Washington, who was fatally shot on the evening of April 28, 2019, outside the King Villas apartments in Perry, Georgia. Sandhu was on leave from his Beaufort, South Carolina, station and visiting a fellow Marine; he was staying with friends at the apartment complex and had no other known ties to the area.
Authorities say the shooting happened during what they believe was a botched robbery. Two men reportedly approached Sandhu with intent to rob him; when Sandhu, who was armed, reached for his weapon he was shot multiple times. He was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead; the assailants fled without taking anything.
Perry Police, with help from the FBI and the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office, arrested two suspects within days. Twenty-five-year-old Quavion Shaquil Rountree, a resident of the complex, was arrested in Macon and charged with murder; 24-year-old Delvin Devon Ross was charged as party to the crime, accused of providing the gun. At trial a jury found Rountree guilty of malice murder and he was sentenced to life in prison.
Did anyone who knew Anahitdeep or the Marines he was visiting notice anything unusual around April 28, 2019?
