On the evening of Saturday, October 30, 2021, 32-year-old Jonathan Lowery Jr. of Maxton, North Carolina, was shot and killed in a double homicide on Leesville Road in Fairmont. Police responded around 7:30 p.m. and found two men with gunshot wounds; Jonathan was discovered alongside 23-year-old Caleb Ryan Hunt of Lumberton. One man was inside a vehicle and the other was outside it.

The Fairmont Police Department, with help from the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office and other agencies, investigated the scene. On February 17, 2022, authorities arrested 19-year-old Semaj Cortez Lin Bethea of Fairmont and charged him with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon, and shooting into an occupied vehicle; he was held without bond on the murder charges. A later arrest on March 18, 2024, brought additional charges against Tarvarius Moore, known as TT.

Does anyone have information about Jonathan’s last movements or who was with him that night?
