According to court documents, Anthony was traveling in an Uber on Friday evening. He told the driver he wanted to buy beer from GetGo.

In a separate criminal complaint, police said they were called to the store on Allegheny River Blvd for reports of a shot fired in the bathroom at around 6:39 p.m.
Officers found evidence of a gun being fired in the bathroom.
