The events unfolded in the 1200 block of Sycamore Street in Weldon Saturday around 4:45 p.m., Major Scott Hall said.
Investigation led to warrants being obtained for Kunta Kunte Shearin, 37; Joe Lee Hampton, 50; and Jesse Jamar Arrington, 25.
Deputies responding to investigate learned two men entered the house and asked for marijuana. When denied, one of the men pulled a handgun and demanded the victim lay on the floor as the others stole cash from the victim's pockets as well as a rifle hidden within the home.
That a hidden rifle was stolen makes investigators believe the men were familiar with the victim, Hall said.
The two fled and fired into the house before leaving on a gray or silver Honda Accord driven by a third man.
Two of the men, Shearin and Arrington, are from Roanoke Rapids, while Hampton is from Weldon.
The men, who are considered armed and dangerous, tend to frequent the Roanoke Rapids and Weldon areas, Hall said.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office at 252-583-8201 or Crimestoppers at 252-583-4444.
