On the morning of October 6, 2015, 16-year-old Anthony Boro, a sophomore at Mariner High School, was shot and killed in the parking lot of an apartment complex near Lynnwood, Washington. Boro was with a group of young people just before 1 a.m. when a confrontation erupted; he was shot in the back while running away and died from a gunshot wound to his trunk that struck his spine and heart.

Investigators arrested two residents of the complex, 25-year-old Charles Courtney and 20-year-old Jesse Ray Landrum, who reportedly did not know Boro. Court documents say Courtney left his apartment with a handgun believing a rival was outside, startled Boro, then chased and fired the fatal shot from nearly 80 feet away. Landrum was accused of kicking Boro as he lay dying. Courtney, an Army veteran who had served in Iraq, allegedly later bragged about the shooting.

Both men were convicted for their roles: Landrum pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and received 15 years; Courtney was convicted of first-degree murder and heroin possession and received a sentence of over 30 years. An appeal challenging Courtney’s trial and the admissibility of confessions was denied. Does anyone have additional information about Anthony’s last known movements that night?
