Captain Jay Burch said Jasmine Deshaunda Graham's grandmother encouraged the 20-year-old Battleboro girl to do so. Graham turned herself in around 3:30 this afternoon and was jailed on $30,000 bond.
She faces charges of first degree burglary, conspiracy to commit robbery, discharging a weapon into an occupied dwelling and contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile. She was on probation for similar charges in Wake County.
Soon after Graham turned herself in, Diamante Harrell came to the sheriff's office and spoke with Detective J. Puhak, telling him who he was and why he was there.
Harrell was jailed on $100,000 bond and faces the same charges as Graham. He is also on probation for drug charges in Edgecombe County.
The sheriff's office continues to look for the other suspect, who is believed to frequent the Battleboro area.
Burch confirmed this afternoon the three suspects did fire back after their alleged accomplice was killed by the home owner. That is reflected in the shooting into an occupied dwelling charge. It is not clear who the ringleader was.
The sheriff's office is not disclosing the name of the deceased 17-year-old suspect, who was a juvenile offender on a weekend pass from the Edgecombe Youth Development Center.
The home invasion occurred early Saturday morning in the Highway 481 area of Enfield.
The homeowner heard footsteps on the porch and, looking through a peephole, saw the suspects, who kicked in the door.
A fight ensued and the homeowner was able to get the suspect's gun, a .38-caliber weapon, and shoot him in the head. The suspect died instantly.
Burch described the home invasion as a targeted crime and not a random act. He said sheriff's office investigators will confer with the district attorney's office to determine whether charges will be filed against the homeowner.
The case remains under investigation and investigators are now looking for the for Marcus Manquell Bell, 26, of Rocky Mount, who faces the same charges as the other two. Bell is wanted for two counts of communicating threats and driving while license revoked in an unrelated case.
