Oji Elon Wynn, 25, was found dead on November 14, 2019, inside a white 2019 Ford Fusion on Folly Road in Plymouth, North Carolina. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office responded to a suspicious-vehicle call at 5:47 AM and found Wynn with three gunshot wounds. The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation assisted in the inquiry.

Investigators identified Tremayne Jerrod Staton as the primary suspect and obtained an arrest warrant on an open count of murder. Staton fled to Connecticut with his girlfriend; while there he was charged with felony domestic assault and held without bond. The murder warrant was served in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and Staton is awaiting extradition to Washington County. Authorities have not released a motive or named other suspects.
