A March shooting in the parking lot of a Weldon convenience store appears to be tied to a previous dispute, the detective investigating the case said today.

Thus far the Halifax County Sheriff's Office has arrested two people — Shabrina McGee, 18, of Weldon, and Dajuan Davis, 22, of Woodland, Chief Deputy Scott Hall said in a statement.

However, warrants have also been filed for four other people in the shooting, according to the statement.

Detective Robert Hale said those wanted and those charged appear to be related through gang ties, but to say the shooting is gang-related is something yet to be determined. “I can't speak on that,” he said. “It's likely to be tied to a previous dispute.”

Hale the sheriff's office is still trying to determine who actually did the shooting the evening of March 29 at Three Flags.

McGee has been charged with attempted murder and felony conspiracy. Davis faces the same counts as McGee as well as a charge of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury. McGee is scheduled for a May 31 court appearance while Davis is scheduled to appear in court on July 20, according to court records.

Meanwhile, Hale said the sheriff's office is still trying to locate the other four — Fabian Sexton, 25, of Woodland; Tamera Anderson, 18, of Halifax; Kvon Lassiter, 21, of Murfreesboro; and Keshara Boone, 18, of Weldon.

Sexton, Anderson and Lassiter face charges of attempted murder and felony conspiracy while Boone has an outstanding warrant for felony conspiracy.

At the time, the sheriff's office reported the victim was shot multiple times but was in stable condition.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call Hale at 252-583-8201 or Crimestoppers at 252-583-4444.
