Amming Tyrek Harrison was 15 when he was shot on the night of January 18, 2014, along Maple and Oak Streets in Laurinburg, North Carolina. He was walking with friends when police say shots were fired from a white Lincoln into the group. Harrison was struck several times, collapsed in the street, and died the following morning at Scotland Memorial Hospital. Another teenager with the group was also wounded and later taken to a hospital for treatment.

Investigators described the attack as deliberate rather than random and said the scene carried the fear and confusion common after a drive-by shooting. Authorities announced warrants for three suspects, later reported as Eddie Frank McLaurin III, Shaquille Juwan Deberry, and Johnny Devante Williams, who were said to face murder charges plus assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill for the other teenager’s wounds, along with reported felony conspiracy and vandalism counts. Early reporting focused on the suddenness of the attack and the youth of the victim; a clear motive was not detailed.

Did anyone in the community know Harrison or the teenagers who were with him that night and have information about what led up to the shooting?
