Cameron Owens, 23, was found dead on May 23, 2019, in High Point, North Carolina. His body was discovered inside a black car outside an apartment complex on Druid Street; he had suffered a fatal gunshot wound.

The investigation produced multiple charges and prosecutions tied to Owens’ death. Justice McLaurin, 26, and J’Marius Howze Jr., 23, both of High Point, were charged with first-degree murder in connection with the killing. McLaurin was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison; Howze was convicted of first-degree murder in December 2023 and received a life sentence. Two other High Point residents, Iyanna Brown, 26, and Carrie Graves, 27, were also charged. Brown pled guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 20 to 25 years; Graves pled guilty to second-degree murder and has not yet been sentenced.

The case was linked by prosecutors to a broader pattern of violence involving the defendants. Does anyone have information about Owens’ life or the neighborhood around Druid Street that could shed light on what led to this shooting?
