Deputy Prosecutor Judith Massa told jurors in opening arguments Tuesday that Anthony Day showed up uninvited and unwanted to his ex-girlfriend’s Gary home, before shooting her, then killing Ajohnte Griffin, her new boyfriend, after she ran out the door in a bloody bathrobe.This is the second time Day has been on trial for the 2017 shooting. He is charged with murder, attempted murder and battery committed with a deadly weapon. He has pleaded not guilty.
Massa told jurors the woman and Day dated for about 1.5 years, as their relationship deteriorated. Day “stalked” the woman in the weeks before the shooting. He crashed a birthday party she attended. In a second incident, a police officer intervened when Day wanted his stuff back at her home and she wanted him to return his key. In a third, he went to her work asking her to give a cell phone he bought for her back. She later put it in his mailbox.
After speaking with the men, they both lowered their weapons, court records said. Day kept saying he just wanted to talk to the woman, and Griffin said he wanted to get the clip to his weapon and leave, documents said.
