On November 10th, 2023, at approximately 3:15 PM, a man was followed by two suspects from an ATM in Strawberry to his residence in Tiburon. After reaching his home, the suspects proceeded to rob the man, and one suspect fired two gunshots, injuring him. The suspects fled the scene with $500 belonging to the man, escaping in a red Kia rental vehicle.
An immediate alert was issued to law enforcement agencies, and a vigilant officer with the Richmond Police Department successfully located the suspect vehicle, initiating a traffic stop in Richmond, CA. During the stop, the driver was positively identified by the victim. The suspect, a juvenile at the time, was arrested and booked into the Marin County Juvenile Justice Center. The remaining suspect was not located at the time.
Following the arrest, Tiburon Police Department investigators conducted extensive follow-up efforts, which ultimately led to the identification of the second suspect involved in the shooting as 21-year- old Anthony Ledell Yancy III. In March 2024, Tiburon investigators traveled to Richmond to execute a search warrant. During the search, a loaded firearm was recovered, concealed within a sofa, along with additional evidence. However, Yancy was not located, and further investigation revealed that he had likely fled the state.
An arrest warrant was issued for the arrest of Yancy on charges of robbery and negligent discharge of a firearm.
On April 5th, 2025, the Tiburon Police Department was notified that the Denver Police Department contacted Yancy during a traffic stop and arrested him on the outstanding warrant. Yancy is currently in the process of being extradited back to Marin County, where he will face charges related to the robbery and firearm incident. Additionally, the Richmond Police Department holds a separate
$450,000 arrest warrant for charges of kidnapping and firearms violations, which Yancy will also face.
We are pleased to announce the successful resolution of this case and the arrest of Yancy. This accomplishment is the result of diligent investigative work by the Tiburon Police Department, in collaboration with the Richmond Police Department and Denver Police Department. It underscores the Tiburon Police Department’s ongoing commitment to the safety and well-being of our community, while sending a strong message to criminals that they will be held accountable for their actions.
