Ronnie Lebert Kelly, a 27-year-old African American man, was one of three people killed in a shooting at a single-wide mobile home at 71 Tina Lane in Clarkton, North Carolina, on February 23, 2020. The other fatalities were Katrice Lacole Murchison, 30, and Guy Lennon Barden Jr., 60; a fourth resident, 69-year-old Hazel Epps, survived.

Bladen County deputies say a man entered the home and opened fire shortly after 1:30 a.m.; Taurean Reshaul Johnson, 36, surrendered to the sheriff’s office soon afterward and was charged with three counts of murder and one count of attempted murder. Johnson was held without bond and made his first court appearance by video conference on February 24, 2020; a probable cause hearing was set for March 16, 2020, and the district attorney was reviewing whether capital charges would be pursued.

Funeral services for Kelly were held March 4, 2020, at Union Funeral Home Chapel in Clarkton. The motive for the shooting remains unclear and the investigation is ongoing. Does anyone have information about Kelly or that Tina Lane address that could help the investigation?
