Report of the Complaint
The suspect admitted that he gave a gun to the two teens he knew to beat McKeever’s new boyfriend, according to a police report. The police report goes that with Haynes in the car outside, the teens kicked in the apartment door and shot and killed Zaria.
Meanwhile, the sister of the young mother believed that she was just trying to protect her boyfriend and thought she could de-escalate the situation. She said, “She thought she could calm him down or get him to leave, and if her new boyfriend would leave, everything would be good, you know?”
