Twenty-year-old Antwion Courtez Martin has been charged with the murder of 48-year-old Edmond James Tyree. Tyree commented "damn" on a picture that Martin's girlfriend, Sharda Perkins, shared on her Facebook page. The picture Tyree commented on was of Perkins in a bathing suit.

Martin and Tyree reportedly quarreled over Tyree's comment before the murder. Martin himself admitted to "having words" with the deceased. Martin was identified by Michael Joel McHale, a friend of Tyree's who was also wounded in the attack.
