Aaron Martin, 24, was shot and killed on September 14, 2020, at the Baymont Inn in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina. The Roanoke Rapids Police Department investigated the fatal shooting and identified two men, Leon Lamont Hunter and his brother William Hunter, both 24 at the time, as suspects in the case.

Leon Hunter was charged with first-degree murder and William Hunter with accessory and conspiracy, according to the investigation. Law enforcement worked with multiple agencies as the case moved forward, and Aaron’s mother, Kayana Bowser, has publicly described him as gentle, athletic, and intelligent.

Several questions remain about the circumstances in the motel room and what led to the shooting; anyone with information about Aaron’s death or the events at the Baymont Inn on September 14, 2020, is asked to come forward.
