Eddie Saez, a 34-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed on January 4, 2022, while working at Southern City Swag Boutique in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Two gunmen entered the store in the afternoon and opened fire; Saez was pronounced dead at the scene. He left behind seven children.

Fayetteville Police released surveillance images of two persons of interest and a suspect vehicle early in the probe. On January 14, 2022, investigators arrested 28-year-old Rasheem Lopez Grant in Columbia, South Carolina; he was charged with first-degree murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon, possession of a firearm by a felon, and felony conspiracy and was extradited to Fayetteville. A second suspect, 34-year-old Quinteel Pierre Harley of South Carolina, was arrested April 12, 2022, in Brunswick County on the same charges and held on a $620,000 secured bond.

Family and community members held a candlelight vigil; Saez’s oldest daughter, Destiny Saez, spoke about her family’s grief. Does anyone who knew Eddie or who was in the area that day have information that could help investigators?
