Mason Mason Halifax County Sheriff's Office

It was never matter of stopping searches for a man wanted in one murder and the killer of a person in another, it's just that now, with the arrest of Herman Lee “Smurf” Edwards, the Halifax County Sheriff's Office can deepen its probe into finding Jimmie Lee Mason and searching for the killer of Jeffrey Cotton.

“We continued trying to locate him,” Major Bruce Temple said of Mason, the second person wanted in the shooting deaths of Thomas Tyrone “Tomcat” Davis and his girlfriend, Jennilee A. Foster.

The sheriff's office has received information on Mason's whereabouts and has followed up, but has not been able to apprehend him, Temple said. Mason is known to frequent the Highway 158 and Highway 48 areas of the county. His family has a history of protecting family members in trouble.

The sheriff's office also continues to investigate Cotton's death outside Club Dream on Highway 158.

The shooter is described as a black male standing 6 feet, 1 inches tall. He had a close hair cut, medium complexion and was wearing a red Aeropostale T-shirt and blue jeans.

The suspect was seen in the club before the shooting.

Anyone with information on either crimes is encouraged to call the sheriff's office at 252-583-1991 or Crimestoppers at 252-583-4444.

What about Mr. Watson in Garysburg? It was such a brutal crime. That person/persons shouldn't be able to walk amongst decent folks.

Who is Mr.Watson what happened to him

Mr. Thomas Watson was found with life threatening injuries on Apple St in Garysburg, Jan. 23, 2010. He died a day later due to his injuries. He was a well known and much loved member of the Garysburg community. They have zero leads as to who committed this crime. Mr. Watson cared about his community and did many things for the community. Sadly, they didn't have to hurt him because he would have given them the shirt off of his back if they had asked. There is currently a $ 10,000 reward for any information leading to the resolution of this case. If you have any information, please contact either Garysburg Police Department or Northampton County Sheriffs Office. You can also contact Crime Stoppers 252-534-1110.
