A dispute over a pair of counterfeit AirPods in Mesa, Arizona, turned fatal on the evening of March 19, 2021. Nineteen-year-old Garry Anau went to meet 21-year-old Kenyada Bass with cousins after discovering the headphones he had bought from Bass were fake. During the meeting Bass produced a handgun and a struggle followed; the gun discharged and both men were shot. Emergency crews took them to a hospital; Anau died and was pronounced deceased early the next morning. Bass survived after treatment for a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his foot and was arrested on March 23, 2021, then charged with manslaughter and aggravated assault.

Anau’s family described him as a hardworking, devout straight-A student who wanted to be a sports reporter and was active in his church and a non-profit supporting his family’s ancestral home in Tonga. Does anyone have information about the events at 843 S. Longmore that night or knew Garry?
