Destiny Wiggins, a 24-year-old African American woman and mother of four, was found shot dead on December 1, 2022, in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. She was discovered in the front seat of a car in the parking lot of Barnhill Construction alongside 28-year-old Devone Brown. Destiny’s two children were in the backseat during the shooting; they were not physically injured but were exposed to cold and treated at a nearby hospital.

Police identified 42-year-old Eric Coley, an employee at Barnhill Construction, as the primary suspect. Coley was arrested on December 2, 2022, after confessing to the killings and charged with first-degree murder. Investigators say Destiny was about 12 weeks pregnant, resulting in an additional murder charge for the unborn child. Coley was being held without bond at the Nash County Detention Facility and faced either the death penalty or life in prison pending court proceedings.

Family members described Destiny as a loving mother who enjoyed doing hair. A GoFundMe was started to help with burial costs. Does anyone have information about Destiny’s movements that morning or who might have seen the car in Barnhill Construction’s lot?
