In a tragic turn of events in Wisconsin, a landlord attempting to evict a tenant ended up fatally shooting him, claiming he acted in a moment of uncontrollable anger after allegedly witnessing the tenant involved in a drug transaction. Following this incident, the landlord also took a woman and her child hostage, ultimately killing the woman after she witnessed the initial shooting, according to police reports.

Kevin Griffin, aged 54 from Milwaukee, reportedly confessed to police that he shot the woman, A’nya Raymond, stating, “I was like f— it. I shot her too,” as detailed in a criminal complaint accessed by Law&Crime.

According to Griffin, Raymond was merely an unfortunate bystander when he shot his tenant, Terrance Wilder, on November 4 at the property he rented to him. Griffin had been trying to evict Wilder, but complications with the necessary paperwork were causing delays, the complaint reveals.

The complaint further states that an argument erupted between Griffin and Wilder over the tenant leaving the backdoors open, which led Griffin to confront Wilder about the issue.

The document quotes Griffin as saying Wilder was “in the middle of a drug deal” at the time, and Griffin admitted, “I just lost it.” He added, “I mean, I should have thought rationally, but I just went off in anger, man, and just lost it,” according to the complaint.

After the shooting, Griffin reportedly encountered Raymond and her son within the residence. He allegedly instructed them to get into his Mercedes parked outside. Despite Raymond’s assurances that she was uninvolved and wouldn’t report the incident, Griffin expressed skepticism, leading to further tragedy, as outlined in the complaint.

Raymond allegedly pleaded with Griffin as he ordered the mother and her child into his car, telling him she could “go somewhere and kick it” and keep quiet. Griffin didn’t care and left with Raymond and her child in the Mercedes, cops say.

“While they were driving … [Raymond] reached into her purse and pulled out a knife and mace,” according to the complaint. “I hit her and then I was like f— it,” Griffin allegedly recalled telling the mother before shooting her eight times, with her child in the backseat watching the slaying unfold.

Griffin admitted to dumping Raymond’s body in an alley near the residence, according to the complaint, and then allegedly “ditched” his firearm near some train tracks by a school. Griffin said that he took Raymond’s son back to his house and put him in her car before driving it to a separate location.

“He left the child and told the child to wait there for his mother to come get him,” the complaint says. Raymond’s son was later found “wandering with apparent blood on his clothes and shoeless,” the complaint adds.

Police received a report about the Wilder shooting on Nov. 5 and responded to the residence at 4824 North 42nd Street in Milwaukee. Raymond’s body was discovered in the nearby alley; Wilder was found inside the home days later on Nov. 9 “on his bed, lying face up,” according to the complaint, during the execution of a search warrant.

Since Griffin was the landlord, he was questioned about what happened and allegedly admitted to being “the person who shot and killed both” individuals.

“It’s been my nightmare,” said Wilder’s mother, Demertha Wilder, in an interview with local ABC affiliate WISN. “My hell,” she said.

Raymond’s mother, Renay Raymond, describes her death in a GoFundMe description as “the worst news any parent could get” — saying, “My daughter was found shot dead and left in an alley. My heart and head is so heavy with grief.”

Griffin was arrested and charged with first-degree intentional homicide by use of a dangerous weapon, first-degree reckless homicide by use of a dangerous weapon, and felon in possession of a firearm.

City records obtained by WISN show that Wilder complained to the Milwaukee Department of Neighborhood Services about the apartment he was renting from Griffin in August after not having hot water for two months. An inspector reportedly ordered Griffin to fix a number of leaky faucets, a clogged drain and a back door. He was also allegedly asked to install a railing, according to WISN, but records show that none of the problems were ever fixed.

“Do you believe this was retaliation for that?” a WISN reporter asked Wilder’s mother, to which she replied, “Yes, I do.”

Griffin is currently being held on a $500,000 bond. He has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Nov. 26.
