Alexis Garth Death, Obituary – Alexis Garth, age 26, tweeted a selfie of herself in front of one of her greatest achievements with the message January 1, 2023- Exactly one year later, Alexis was shot multiple times and died in the driveway of her dream home by the same 20-year-old man depicted with her in the photo below. The couple has been together for over a year, and although Alexis was physically tortured by her killer, she always had the ability to leave. However, whenever she attempted to quit the toxic relationship, Yarbrough made it difficult for her to do so. She finally had a strategy in place to end the poisonous relationship in a matter of weeks.
Family members said the young mother was ecstatic to move into a larger home with her daughters, never imagining that she would perish there. Before Alexis was murdered, she called her sister to come retrieve her daughter. During the call, Alexis was crying and urging Yarbough to keep his gun away from her. (suggesting she was in peril) Alexis’ Mother then heard Yarbough say in the background of that phone call, “I’m going to kill her, you, and then myself. Alexis’s mother dialed 911 while rushing to her daughter’s house out of grave concern for the safety of her daughter and granddaughters. Officers were present when she arrived, and she observed Alexis and Yarbough lying in the driveway.
Mom observed Alexis’ leg move, so she assumed they were both arrested, as most couples are during a domestic conflict. The mother finally realized that Alexis was in grave danger when she heard cops request a medical bag. Upon gaining a better perspective of her daughter, she observed that Alexis was in fact lying in the driveway with blood streaming down the pavement like water when washing a car. Officers notified Alexis’s mother that upon arriving, they saw Yarbrough shoot her daughter a second time (after she had already been shot prior to their arrival). Yarbrough then surrendered by laying on the ground next to Alexis’s body, pushing the gun away from his body, and saying “I submit.”
Alexis was transported to the hospital, where she was declared dead. She was struck by multiple bullets. One to each of her hips and three to her abdomen. It was established that she sustained the wounds to her sides while holding her daughter. She turned her body one way to take the bullet for her daughter and then turned it the other way to be shot on the opposite side. By the grace of God, as Alexis collapsed to the ground from her wounds, her daughter was able to hide beneath a truck, where she was discovered by officers. Alexis was a family-oriented individual who was a wonderful friend to others and who adored her two girls, who must now live without her at the ages of 3 years and 8 months. Ky’raun Yarbrough was arrested and charged with capital murder in connection with Alexis’s death. In 2019, at the age of 16, he was charged with first and second degree assault after shooting multiple minors and being released.
