Anaja Janae Griffin-McNeal, 20, was shot and killed on January 15, 2021, at about 9:00 a.m. at the Love’s Travel Stop on Highway 287 in Quanah, Texas. She was pronounced dead at the scene from a gunshot wound to the head inside a car in the parking lot. The suspect, 24-year-old Armond Jordan Smith, was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head in the same vehicle and was airlifted to University Medical Center in Lubbock; he admitted to paramedics that he had shot Griffin-McNeal and was later charged with murder.

Testimony at Smith’s trial indicated the two had been traveling together, had run out of money in Quanah, and that their relationship was sometimes tumultuous. The Texas Rangers investigated the case; the family remembered Griffin-McNeal as a loving, caring woman with a passion for helping others.

Does anyone have information about the period in Quanah the morning of January 15, 2021?
