A little more than a week before DaShanika Sherrod was gunned down in her bedroom, she told police she was afraid of her ex-boyfriend.
"He threatened my life and yes I am afraid," Sherrod wrote in a Dec. 26 criminal complaint. "He told me police won't save me or God can't save me."
The ex-boyfriend — Anthony Mark Smith Jr. — was named Wednesday as a suspect in the Jan. 4 shooting death of Sherrod. Police announced they were searching for the 25-year-old Smith, whose last known address is in the 400 block of Michael Irvin Drive. Smith's nickname is "Ant man," according to court documents.
Sherrod was found shot to death at about 1:30 a.m. inside her apartment in the first block of Heritage Way in the Denbigh section of the city. She was 25. Police say a gunman forced his way into her bedroom and shot her while her two children and mother were inside the apartment. No one else was injured.
Police have four warrants on file for Smith: first-degree murder, possession of firearm by felon, burglary, and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
A threat
Smith and Sherrod, who dated on and off for five years, had recently broken up, according to her family. Sherrod requested an emergency protective order against Smith on Dec. 26, but it expired Dec. 30.
