However, unconfirmed reports suggest that the shooting is likely linked to an ongoing dispute over the inheritance of a family home that belonged to Foster’s mother, Icilda Foster, who passed away in 2023. Icilda reportedly willed the house to her eldest grandchild, Anderson, which angered Foster. Initially, investigators believed Anderson had been shot by someone riding a moped, as witnesses reported seeing one speed away from the scene. However, authorities have not determined whether the moped rider was the shooter or merely someone fleeing the area. Officers recovered two spent shell casings at the scene. Anderson, who lived with her mother in nearby Mount Vernon, was reportedly on her way home from work when she was killed. In an interview with a local television station, her mother, Beverly Patterson, expressed her concern when her daughter failed to arrive home at the usual time.
