Girlfriend Leaving Her Simp Boyfriend Who Allegedly Murdered a Man For Laughing at Her on Social Media For Another Man Goes Viral

Social media can be a powerful tool for communication, entertainment and education, but it can also be a source of conflict, violence and tragedy. This is what happened in the case of a black man named Isiah Fitzgerald, an 18-year-old graduate of Scott County Central Junior & High School, who was shot and killed by a white man named Tanner Watkins over a Facebook post on April 25, 2023. Now the woman that Tanner Watkins went to prison for is dating another man that looks more like the guy he murdered than him.

The Backstory of Why Tanner Watkins Murdered Isiah Fitzgerald

According to reports, the incident started when Fitzgerald reacted with a laughing emoji to a profile picture of Watkins and his girlfriend. This apparently angered Watkins, who exchanged heated words with Fitzgerald on Facebook. Screenshots of the comments show that Watkins threatened to kill Fitzgerald and called him a racial slur.

The online argument escalated into a real-life confrontation, when the two parties agreed to meet at a park in Sikeston, Missouri, to fight. However, instead of fists, they brought guns. Watkins and his friend Kaleb Ramsey arrived in two vehicles with five other people, while Fitzgerald and his friend arrived in another vehicle with three other people.

As soon as they saw each other, shots were fired from both sides. Fitzgerald was hit in the face and died at the scene. His friend, an 18-year-old female, was also shot and taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. No one else was injured in the shooting.

Police arrived shortly after the gunfire and arrested Watkins and Ramsey. They also seized several weapons from the scene, including an AK-47-style rifle that was used by Watkins to fire multiple rounds at Fitzgerald’s vehicle. Watkins and Ramsey were charged with first-degree murder, armed criminal action, three counts of first-degree assault and four counts of unlawful use of a weapon.
