COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – Delaware County deputies have arrested a third
suspect they connected to a string of robberies in 2023, including one
that turned deadly in Polaris South.

Anthony Blakely, 27, was apprehended Wednesday in connection to a robbery
that turned fatal on Aug. 24 at an AutoZone store on Sancus Boulevard.
When 43-year-old customer Alejandro Fajardo-Torres tried to intervene, one
of the suspects shot and killed him. Blakely is scheduled for an
arraignment hearing on Jan. 16.

A total of 17 charges have piled up against Blakely, Zackeyis Davis and
Darius Wynn, who are suspected of committing multiple robberies in 2023. A
Delaware County grand jury indicted all three on Dec. 21 for the following
charges:

Zackeyis Davis – Murder, aggravated murder, attempted murder, aggravated
robbery (2), felonious assault, engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity.

Darius Wynn – Murder, felonious assault, aggravated robbery (2), engaging
in a pattern of corrupt activity.

Anthony Blakely – Murder, aggravated murder, felonious assault, aggravated
robbery, engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity.

At the time of the August murder, police believed that the three men were
linked to a string of robberies in which they reportedly targeted area
auto parts retail stores.

Court documents categorized the three suspects as an enterprise, along
with other unidentified individuals, who conducted or participated in the
robberies between May 14, 2023, and September 16, 2023.

The indictment stated that Davis, 22, and Wynn, 28, allegedly robbed a Los
Mariachis three times on May 14, June 13, and Aug. 11. One week later,
investigators suspect the pair robbed a Burger King.

Days later on Aug. 21, the three suspects reportedly set their sights on
AutoZone stores. Investigators said they stole from the AutoZone on East
Dublin Granville Road, and on Aug. 22 moved to hit the AutoZone on
Westerville Road.

The three men entered their next target, the Sancus Avenue AutoZone near
Polaris Fashion Place, on Aug. 24, according to investigators. Columbus
police originally responded to that incident, after dispatchers received
calls reports of shots fired at 5:11 p.m. that day. Eight minutes later,
emergency crews found 43-year-old Alejandro Fajardo-Torres and pronounced
him dead.

Columbus police said that Fajardo-Torres, a customer at the time of the
incident, was attempting to stop the robbery when he was shot inside the
store. Family members said the victim was a regular customer at the store.
A second victim was hospitalized with a blunt-force trauma injury.

Arrest made in Westerville check theft scheme

Davis, who was arrested in September and issued a $5 million bond for
murder, aggravated murder, and felonious assault, was issued a $10 million
bond Wednesday on all seven charges. Wynn had his bond elevated from $3
million to $5 million. They are next scheduled to appear in court on Feb.
13.
