MESA PD MAKE AN ARREST AFTER AIRPOD ARGUMENT TURNS DEADLY

 

On March 19, 2021 around 9:00 p.m., Mesa Police Officers responded to 843 S. Longmore Mesa, AZ for reports of a shooting.  After they arrived, they located 19-year-old Garry Anau and 21-year-old Kenyada Bass, both with gunshot wounds.  Garry and Kenyada were transported to the hospital where Garry was pronounced deceased.  

Officers interviewed several witnesses and learned that Garry had purchased fake AirPods from Kenyada days prior. Garry and two other people arranged a second meeting with Kenyada.  During this meeting, Kenyada arrived with a handgun.  

An argument started about the validity of the AirPods and Kenyada produced a gun.  A physical confrontation ensued and that is when Kenyada fired his gun, striking himself in the foot and also striking Garry.  

Kenyada was booked into jail on March 23, 2021 after being released from the hospital.  He was booked for the following charges:

 

1ct Manslaughter- ARS 13-1103.A1, a class 2 felony

2cts Aggravated Assault- ARS 13-1204A2, a class 2 felony
