Adam Thomas, 33, and his brother Frank Thomas, 34, were found dead in their Marigold Lane home in Lumberton, North Carolina, on October 15, 2019. The Robeson County Medical Examiner’s Office determined both men died of multiple gunshot wounds; their bodies were sent to Raleigh for autopsies.

The Robeson County Sheriff’s Office Homicide and Criminal Investigation Divisions handled the investigation. On October 18, 2019, 19-year-old Derrick Deshawn Hunt and an unidentified 13-year-old juvenile were arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder; Hunt also faced charges of conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon and robbery with a dangerous weapon. Hunt was held without bond and the juvenile was placed in a regional detention center.

Sheriff Burnis Wilkins linked the killings to drug-related activity and warned about youth involvement in drugs. Neighbors described the brothers as troublemakers who sometimes fired guns and kept questionable company, though some residents remembered Frank as a good person who wouldn’t hurt anyone.
