Suspects in three separate shootings took pleas this week in Halifax County Superior Court.

Dashawn Moore pled to assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury for a shooting that occurred October of last year on Carolina Rest Home Road.

He was sentenced to 73 to 97 months.

Moore was initially wanted for assault with a deadly with intent to kill inflicting serious injury, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and three counts of assault by pointing a gun.

The additional counts reflect other people were in the house in the Roanoke Rapids area when the shooting occurred.

Halifax County Sheriff’s Office investigators and deputies arrived and learned Moore and his stepfather were involved in an argument when Moore got a gun from his room and shot the man twice in the stomach. Moore fled the house.

Meanwhile Jonah Powell and Travonte Whitaker took plea bargains in a shooting that occurred on Brigman Street in February.

Powell pled to assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury and was sentenced to 55 to 75 months in prison.

Whitaker pled to assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury and received a 25 to 30 month sentence that was suspended for supervised probation.

Deputy Danny Radford responded to a shooting call on Brigman Street and found a victim lying in the living room floor with gunshot wounds to the torso.

It was reported a dispute over a woman sparked the shooting, investigators said at the time.

Halifax County District Attorney Melissa Pelfrey also said Alphonso Williams pled to assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury for a shooting that occurred on Ransome Circle December of 2010.

He received a 20 to 33 month active sentence.

The Weldon Police Department investigated the case and learned Williams and Michael Ponton Jr. were involved.

The shooting occurred at 209 Ransome Circle, a house the Weldon Police Department and state Alcohol Law Enforcement are trying to shut down through nuisance abatement laws.

Williams and Ponton, who are brothers, and the victim, Luther Terry, a first cousin of the pair, are frequenters at the house, which has been targeted for drug sales and is known in the Scoco Park community as the Community House and by police as Weldon Police Department Substation South.

There was an argument over money between the cousins and Williams allegedly fired two shots at Terry, one bullet striking him in the arm and going through his chest.

Pelfrey was pleased with the outcome of the cases. “It was a good week of court and we got a lot accomplished.”
