Antoine Isaiah Gelzer

Age 18

Lexington, North Carolina

Shots fired, a robbery gone wrong

In the news video, the vacant white house on Tussey Street in Lexington, North Carolina, is set off by yellow tape.

He often struck poses on Facebook, without a shirt, with friends, sometimes just in the mirror. Police say he and three others planned a robbery. Officers responded to reports of gunshots at Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Connor Streets near midnight on June 19, 2018, but found nothing.

The next morning, they did. Antoine Isaiah Gelzer, 18, was shot and killed by the robbery victim. Police found him behind the house on Tussey Street.
