On January 22, 2019, Kayla Dezaree Chapman was working at a convenience store when a teenager came in with a gun. D'Anthony Williams demanded cash and cigarettes, and after Kayla handed them over, he shot her in the neck. At the time of her death, Kayla had given her notice of resignation from the store; she and her husband were planning to take over the operations of an animal rescue ranch where she had been a volunteer.
