Detective D.C. Dickens, one of the investigators in the case, said the shooting was over a social media post. He declined to elaborate.
Moses
Dickens also confirmed the Grant Drive shooting was not related to the January home invasion in which Justice Moses, 19, of Jackson, was shot with his own weapon by the victim.
Moses was charged in the Grant Drive shooting with discharging a weapon into an occupied dwelling, felony aiding and abetting and possession of a stolen firearm. Kevin Jenkins, 18, of Roanoke Rapids, faces the same charges but has not been apprehended. Jenkins also faces a count of larceny of a firearm.
Hall said in the statement the charges stem from investigations by Dickens and Detective W.C. Murphy.
A handgun was reported stolen which was in the possession of Moses following the Highway 48 burglary.
Moses received a $2,000 secured bond and May 25 court date.
Jenkins
Dickens said Jenkins is known to frequent areas in Roanoke Rapids as well as Huckleberry Bottom Road.
