Kenneth Franklin Miles Jr, 25, was shot and killed on October 7, 2021, outside his home on Summerwind Drive in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Family members say he was shot at least three times at close range after an argument between other people; a man who had been in a dispute approached Kenneth and shot him despite Kenneth trying to distance himself. He was taken to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center and died of his injuries.

Detectives with the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office believe Kenneth knew his assailant. Investigators have been collecting evidence, interviewing witnesses and seeking security camera footage from the mobile home park, but no arrests have been announced. Kenneth was known to family as Pappa or Popeye and to friends as Ali.

Anyone with information about what happened that evening is urged to contact the sheriff’s office.
