Tyron Christopher Melton Jr, a 27-year-old African American man, was shot and killed during an armed robbery on August 14, 2020, on Bunny Trail Road in Lumberton, North Carolina. His vehicle, a white 2011 Mercedes Benz E350, was taken during the incident. A family member drove Melton to Southeastern Regional Medical Center, where he died of his injuries.

Robeson County Sheriff’s Office investigators recovered the stolen Mercedes and focused on suspects linked to the robbery and shooting. On September 29, 2020, 19-year-old Jermaine McLeod Jr. of Lumberton was arrested at the Knights Inn on Lackey Street and charged with first-degree murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and felony conspiracy. McLeod was held at the Robeson County Detention Center without bond on the murder charge; a $250,000 secured bond was set on the other charges.

What information can anyone share about Tyron Melton Jr’s activities that day or about movements of the white 2011 Mercedes Benz E350 after the shooting?
