An online sale arranged at Greenbrier Apartments in Columbia, South Carolina, ended in murder on March 19, 2025. Anaya Q. Herndon, 22, met a buyer at about 2 p.m. and was found unconscious in her car with a gunshot wound to her upper body. She was pronounced dead at the scene; deputies described the incident as a robbery that escalated to murder.

Authorities arrested two men at the scene. Police identified 20-year-old Quavon Eichelberger as the person who arranged the sale and say he robbed and shot Herndon; he was charged with murder, armed robbery, and possession of a weapon during a violent crime and booked at Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center without bond. A second 20-year-old, Zaire Warner, who had accompanied Herndon to the meeting, was cleared in the shooting but charged with firearm possession as a convicted felon; his bond was set at $2,500 and he was released.

Herndon had just earned her barber’s license and was planning a barbershop and a clothing and hair-cutting brand; family described her as positive and ambitious. Does anyone who knew Anaya or saw activity at Greenbrier Apartments that afternoon have information to share?
