Police in North Carolina have arrested two people after a 19-year-old man was found shot dead a Roanoke River boat ramp last week.
Gaston Police and the Northampton County Sheriff’s Office said they were investigating whether Sherrod Ahmad Person was lured to the ramp for the killing.
Investigators were called to the scene at about 7:15 a.m. on March 16 for a car partly in the water at the Gaston Boat Landing. Person was found dead in the vehicle from “multiple gunshot wounds.”
Gaston Police Chief C.W. Bowser told WNCN that Curtis Ra’heem Sessoms and Marquel Tyreik Hudson, both 22, had been arrested on Thursday and charged with murder. Other charges are possible, he said.
The chief said that detectives are looking into reports that Person had told someone he thought a meeting he’d been asked to attend the night before his body was found was a possible “set up.” The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation is assisting, he said.
Sessoms and Hudson are scheduled to appear in court on April 4.
