Chilling testimony in the murder of Fort Valley State University student, Anitra Gunn, reveals that she was killed because she laughed at her boyfriend.
The 23-year-old was found dead in a wooded area of Crawford County, Georgia, days after she was reported missing on Valentine’s Day 2020. Her boyfriend, Fort Gordon Army sergeant, Demarcus Little, was arrested and charged with her murder days later. Text messages between the two show that Gunn was trying to distance herself from the relationship for months, but after Little tried to commit suicide, she continued communicating with him.
On Friday, one of Little’s closest friends, Jaivon Abron, testified that his friend confessed to strangling Gunn to death after she laughed in his face while he allegedly professed his love to her on Valentine’s Day. Abron said Little told him that he blacked out and struck Gunn before strangling her. He then placed her body in the trunk of her white 2013 Chevy Cruze and drove her to the woods, partially damaging her car. Little then abandoned the vehicle in a neighborhood not far from where the couple was last seen together.
The two men retrieved the bumper of Gunn’s car, which had fallen off in the woods when Little was dumping her body. Despite the firsthand account of what transpired, Abron never went to the police after being threatened by Little.
Abron has been charged with tampering with evidence and making false statements to the police. Little has been charged with murder.
