Shooter in fatal home invasion may have acted in self-defense, Lakeland cops say

By Cristóbal Reyes
Detectives investigating a fatal shooting in Lakeland believe the person killed was an intruder who was shot in self defense, the city’s police department said in a statement Friday.

Officers responded to a house on Jewel Avenue near West Memorial Boulevard Thursday afternoon following reports of gunshots after a home invasion. Both suspects — Anastasia Crumb-Guy and Tysheana Marshall — were wounded, and were taken to Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center, where Crumb-Guy was later pronounced dead.

Authorities said Crumb-Guy and Marshall broke into the house and got into a fight with the residents. Crumb-Guy had grabbed a knife and tried to block the path of one of the residents who tried to leave, police spokeswoman Robin Tillett said.

SAN ANTONIO — One man is behind bars after police say he followed an off-duty SAPD officer and pulled a gun on him.

According to a preliminary report from the San Antonio Police Department, Officer Alonzio Hardin requested a supervisor over the radio after leaving an off-duty job. Hardin told his supervisor that a man, Anthony Colvin, 34, was following him.

He also mentioned that Colvin got in front of Officer Hardin’s car and kept slamming on his brake.

Officer Hardin said he tried to keep his distance while he called 911 on his phone and pulled into a parking lot in the 11500 block of New Sulphur Springs in the hopes that Colvin would drive past him.

However, several minutes later, Colvin turned around and drove up to Officer Hardin who got out of his car to find cover since he was uncertain of Colvin’s intentions.

Officer Hardin said that Colvin began yelling racial slurs and pointed a black handgun at him, per the preliminary report.
