Anthony Scott Beers, 30, of Longwood, North Carolina, was shot on December 8, 2017, in an area known as the quarters in the Longwood community of Brunswick County. He was found lying on a dead-end street after gunfire at about 6:30 p.m.; a woman nearby heard the shots and discovered him. His grandmother, who had been in the passenger seat of his red pickup truck, was not harmed.

Anthony was taken to a Myrtle Beach hospital and died of his injuries on December 10, 2017. He had been shot in the head at point-blank range and suffered catastrophic brain damage. His family gathered at his bedside; his organs were donated per his prior wishes.

Investigators arrested 24-year-old Eugene Anthwon Powell of Brunswick County, charging him with first-degree murder and communicating threats. Prosecutors said the killing was tied to Powell’s reputation and a financial dispute over $40 for cocaine. A 23-year-old woman, Summer Lynn Gray of Supply, was charged with accessory after the fact for allegedly helping Powell flee to South Carolina and trade a vehicle. Does anyone have information about Anthony or the events that night that could help clarify what happened?
