Charles Edward Bias, 51, was shot multiple times at his business in the 6800 block of U.S. 401 South in Bunnlevel, North Carolina, on January 12, 2021. Deputies and EMS attempted lifesaving measures but he died of his injuries. Bias owned Kerkenbush Automotive and was remembered by the community for his contributions to the local economy and his dedication to family and business.

Three people were arrested in connection with the killing. Courtney Christine Carrol, 31; Jeremy Devonta Campbell, 28; and Jordan Issac Nathaniel Stone, 20, were charged with first-degree murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon and were held at the Harnett County Detention Center without bond. A memorial service was held at Friendship Baptist Church in Bunnlevel; Bias is survived by daughter Samantha Rollins, sons Matthew, Charlie, and Austin, and siblings Joey Bias and Tina Stephenson.
