Jared Musgrove, 27, was fatally shot on July 5, 2022, at the Patriot Place Mobile Home Park in Hubert, North Carolina. Emergency responders found Musgrove with two gunshot wounds; he was transported to a hospital and pronounced dead. He also had ties to Virginia and was the father of a 2-year-old son.

The person accused is 46-year-old James McAlee of Alexandria, Virginia. McAlee reportedly drove more than 300 miles to confront Musgrove over an alleged relationship with McAlee’s adult daughter. A physical altercation took place, and after the men were separated McAlee is said to have retrieved a gun from his truck and shot Musgrove. Authorities received a 911 call at about 3:20 a.m. on July 5.

McAlee was located by the U.S. Marshals Service and a sheriff’s detective and arrested on a murder charge. A District Court judge later set bond at $500,000; court records did not list an attorney for McAlee and the investigation was ongoing. If anyone knew Jared, his movements that night, or witnessed the confrontation at Patriot Place, please come forward with information.
