Brendan Robert Hurley, 23, was found dead near Zebulon, North Carolina, on July 20, 2019. His remains were located off Covered Bridge Road in Johnston County; an autopsy found he had been shot at least six times, including wounds to the head, neck, chest, left arm and left leg, and four bullets were recovered with his body. He had been missing for about a week before his remains were discovered.

Hurley and his friend Anthony James McCall were last seen on July 17, 2019. Hurley was expected to pick up his mother from work that day but never arrived. His Dodge Charger was later found abandoned near a construction debris recycling plant on Raleigh View Drive in south Raleigh, with blood on the passenger seat. Family members reported the pair missing within hours and an investigation followed.

Two men, James DaiShawn Robinson, 21, and Ryan Craig Veach, 19, were arrested and charged with two counts of murder each and are being held without bond. A 16-year-old, Andrew Francis Carroll, was charged as an accessory after the fact for allegedly driving Hurley’s car from Zebulon to a scrap metal recycling center to be junked. The motive has not been disclosed. If anyone knew Brendan’s movements around July 17, 2019, or saw his Dodge Charger in south Raleigh, please share what you remember.
