Anthony Lorenzo Yarber, 27, was shot and killed on the evening of October 26, 2018, in Lansing, Michigan. The shooting occurred around 9 p.m. in the 400 block of West Lapeer Street, near the downtown campus of Lansing Community College. Emergency responders took Yarber to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.

Known affectionately as Scooter, Yarber’s family described him as outgoing, warm-hearted and devoted to his family. The Lansing Police Department investigated the shooting and arrested 27-year-old Demar Lamonte Beard of Lansing. Beard was initially charged with second-degree murder and felony firearm possession; a judge later dismissed the second-degree murder charge for lack of probable cause and ordered Beard to stand trial on involuntary manslaughter and felony firearm possession instead.

Does anyone have information about that night on West Lapeer Street or knew Anthony Scooter Yarber?
