Teddy Anderson Jr. mugged for the camera and said, “Make sure you get a good one.”

Asked if he had anything to say as he was led to the magistrate's office for booking in the murder of 15-year-old Keyuon Garner and the shooting of two other people in August, he said, “Get it.”

Asked again he said, “Nothing.”

Anderson was brought to the Halifax County Sheriff's Office this afternoon following his arrest in the Long Island hamlet of Roosevelt, New York, September 18, where he apparently fled following the murder of Garner and the attempted murders of Wilson Green and Calvin Robinson the evening of August 4 in the South Weldon area known as The Strip.

Garner's murder is believed to have sparked the murder of 2-year-old Dy'Uanna Anderson and the shooting of her grandmother on Cedar Street in Weldon the following morning, authorities have said.

Anderson was booked on a count of murder and two counts of attempted murder and was jailed without the opportunity for bond pending an October 22 court date. He also faces unrelated drug counts.

Halifax County Sheriff Wes Tripp said he was glad to have Anderson in custody in the county. “Our case has become stronger and stronger as each day goes by. Detectives are continuing to follow up on leads. As individuals are in jail, informants are more willing to speak.”

Tripp said physical evidence continues to be collected in the case. He declined to elaborate beyond what has already been said about motive in the case.
