Student was killed after she texted her father to say her ex-boyfriend was tracking her phone

The father of a 23-year-old student who was found dead in Georgia told police that the girl’s ex-boyfriend had managed to track her whereabouts using her phone location. 

Christopher Gunn had called police the day before Anitra Gunn went missing on February 15, asking police to perform a wellness check on the Fort Valley State student. 

He told them that DeMarcus Little, the woman’s ex-boyfriend, had been tracking her phone’s location but explained that he was not sure how, WMAZ reports.

Christopher Gunn also shared the last text messages he had exchanged with his daughter, with Anitra telling her father that she was going out of town with a new man she had met. 

She later told her father that she had changed her mind and was instead, focusing on herself.  

Little has since been charged with malice murder in connection to the woman’s death after it was ruled a homicide.

Anitra’s body was discovered by police near the border of Crawford County and Peach County on Tuesday, Special Agent JT Ricketson confirmed, according to WMAZ.  

Little was initially arrested on Tuesday for an attack on her apartment, WMAZ said.

He was accused of smashing the window’s at Gunn’s home and slashing the tires on her car on February 5 – nine days before she disappeared, Fort Valley police said.
