Jamal Rogers, 17, of Vance Street, is wanted for discharging a weapon into occupied property and an outstanding warrant for assault by pointing a gun, which was filed by the Franklin Street victims days before the house was shot into.
Captain Andy Jackson said Rogers is acquainted with one of the sons who lives in the Franklin Street house but declined to elaborate.
The investigation into why the shots were fired in the house continues.
Jackson said Rogers is considered armed and dangerous and anyone with information on his whereabouts should call Crimestoppers at 252-583-4444 or 911.
Jackson said the force of the blast caused sheetrock to fall from the ceiling.
Julie Boyten said last week she woke to shards of sheetrock falling on her face, a bullet missing her by inches.
Bullet holes were found at the back of the house and one in the bedroom.
The house was shot at the side and back, the kitchen window shattered and repeated bullet holes at the rear of the house where the sheetrock woke Boyten upstairs.
Jackson said detectives found four bullet fragments.
The evidence suggests at least two people shot at the house, one with a shotgun and the other with a handgun, Jackson said.
There is to be no profanity and there is to be no character assassination even if the person being written about is a suspect in a crime.
