Law enforcement in North Carolina have apprehended two individuals after a 19-year-old man was discovered deceased from a gunshot wound at a Roanoke River boat ramp last week.
Authorities in Gaston and the Northampton County Sheriff’s Office stated they were examining the possibility that Sherrod Ahmad Person was enticed to the ramp for the homicide.
Officials were summoned to the location at approximately 7:15 a.m. on March 16 for a vehicle partially submerged in the water at the Gaston Boat Landing. Person was found deceased in the car due to “several gunshot injuries.”
Gaston Police Chief C.W. Bowser informed WNCN that Curtis Ra’heem Sessoms and Marquel Tyreik Hudson, both 22, had been apprehended on Thursday and charged with the murder. He mentioned that additional charges are a possibility.
The chief mentioned that investigators are exploring reports that Person had conveyed suspicions to someone that the meeting he had been invited to attend the previous night might have been a potential “set up.” The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation is providing assistance, he added.
Sessoms and Hudson have a court appearance scheduled for April 4.
