Anthony Milan Ross  45  was arrested just after 10 p.m. Monday in the murder of his estranged wife Iris Ross  38  and his two children — Nigel Ross  11  and 10-month-old daughter Anora Ross — at their Phoenix apartment. He was held without bail Tuesday.
Ross’ journey to losing more than 200 pounds began in 2012  when he was a Whole Foods employee and weighed more than 500 pounds. His outspoken success also led to being featured in a full-length documentary that included celebrities such as James Cameron and Samuel L. Jackson  according to AZCentral.  Ross  graced magazine covers and traveled the country to speak at events.
 Ross  also talked about  his  weight loss journey last month with local Phoenix station 12News.
“My body feels much better. I'm in better shape at 45 than I ever was when I was skinny in my 20s ”  Ross  told the news station.
 Ross  was charged on Tuesday with three counts of first-degree murder and multiple counts of aggravated assault and assault against a police officer.  He  was taken into custody after  he  barricaded  himself  in the family's Phoenix home that led to a nighttime standoff with police officers.
 Ross  seemed happy to spend time with  his  children hours before the Christmas Day killings.  Ross  posted on  his  Facebook page a video Christmas Eve of  him  and  his  11-year-old son.
“Hey guys  I’m smiling and I’m hanging out with Nigel on Christmas Eve. We’re going to embarrass ourselves! We’re going to sing ”  Ross  said smiling with  his  son.
 Ross  and  his  wife got divorced earlier this year  according to AZCentral.
Police tried to talk to  Ross  when  he  was inside the unit  Sgt. Jonathan Howard said. Several hours later   Ross  indicated  he  had killed the two children and began shooting at officers  said authorities. There is no known motive for the deadly shooting.
