It's so sad that a grieving mom has to fight for this, it should be common sense. I also understand innocent till proven guilty. It just makes no sense a man with his record was out on bond. No doubt in my mind, the victim is only alive because the cops stopped yazeed that night.

 

[Inquisitive2018]

Also I wonder what's was his actual motive here. It's hard to tell whether Aniah was kidnapped from the get go which is what I assumed. But it seems at first she willingly gave him a ride, if they show him getting out and in of the passenger side at another store, isnt that whats being implied ? Then Why did he have his gun out?

I followed this case as it was happening but have not seen anything at all lately. Has any details about what happened to Aniah been revealed?

Nothing than was said before, she died of a gunshot to the head.

Aniah was finally laid to rest yesterday same day as her older brother Darien who died of a car accident before she was born. May they both RIP and if there really is a heaven they are playing with each other, only positive spin I could put on this and of course, the man being charged never being able to physically hurt anyone again.

Would love to know as well. My guess it's a fake name he used online, an email account maybe..fake profile to do business without using his name

While time has gone by, and Walt Harris has even returned to the Octagon, their family is still feeling the effects of this loss. However they decided that they would try to give back, by starting the “Aniah’s Heart Foundation.”

As Walt explained when speaking to UFC.com, he and his wife began this foundation with the intent to help others who are dealing with missing loved ones. They aim to give some sort of direction and help in ways that they wish they had when they were going through the same thing.
