Anthony Carlos Richardson never walked away from someone who needed help, Kansas City Police chief Darryl Forté said. So it was no surprise to Forté that his good friend intervened, and refused to give up, when his cousin was getting pistol-whipped by her boyfriend Friday night, according to court records.

Richardson fought the boyfriend, who knocked Richardson into a television set and onto the floor. Richardson announced he was going to go to bed but instead grabbed a jewelry box and clobbered the boyfriend with it.

The boyfriend allegedly shot Richardson twice in the chest and then shot the cousin, Stephanie Brown, twice in the head. He then allegedly shot Richardson’s wife, Mary, in the mouth. All three died — and the Richardson’s 17-year-old son saw the whole thing, according to court records.
