Amaru Caevon Carroll-Lee was 21 when he was shot and killed at his home on Selma Street in Wilson, North Carolina, on May 2, 2020. Officers responded that night around 10 p.m.; they attempted lifesaving measures but Carroll-Lee died at the scene.
The investigation produced two arrests. Terry L. Parker, 44, was arrested May 3, 2020, and charged with first-degree murder and first-degree burglary. Telly S. Parker, 35, turned himself in on May 6, 2020, and faced the same charges. Both were held without bond while the Wilson Police Department continued its probe.
During the trial that began in February 2023, eyewitnesses and Carroll-Lee’s mother, Nicole Awad, testified that Telly Parker entered the home with a pistol and fired the fatal shot. The jury in the case was composed of three men and nine women.
If anyone knew Amaru, saw activity at the Selma Street home that night, or has information not already shared with investigators, please come forward.
