Two Emporia men who Roanoke Rapids police Chief Shane Guyant said helped clean up a crime scene and gave false statements to officers in the aftermath of a shooting death in the 200 block of Madison Street Tuesday morning are wanted for obstruction of justice.
Guyant said this evening “through the diligent and continued work by investigators from the Roanoke Rapids Police Department” warrants were issued for Thomas Lee Parham, 30, and Kenneth Lamari Adkins, 18.

Guyant said this evening there is the possibility one more person could face charges stemming from the shooting death of 18-year-old Jamari Haskins of Chesapeake, Virginia.
A 26-year-old Roanoke Rapids man, Demarcus Tyvon Gilbert, remains in the Halifax County Detention Center without the opportunity for bond as he awaits a March 28 district court date in Halifax.
Guyant said Haskins was in Roanoke Rapids visiting people and was familiar with people in the 224 Madison residence at the time of the fatal shooting which occurred inside.
The police chief declined to discuss the motive in the case.
Officers responded to the area shortly after midnight upon receiving a shooting call at a residence and noticed several individuals including the deceased.
