Evard Earl Artis, a 63-year-old Wilson, North Carolina resident, was found shot to death in his front yard after police responded to a shots-fired call at his Stadium Street home around 1:30 a.m. on March 25, 2019. First responders attempted resuscitation but pronounced Artis dead at the scene.

Police say the investigation identified two suspects: 57-year-old Jimmie Ray Turner Jr. of Kenly and 30-year-old Ashley Nichole Harrell of Stantonsburg. Both were charged with first-degree murder and robbery with a dangerous weapon after officers determined the suspects had broken into Artis’ home, taken about $30 worth of items, and shot him. Neighbors described Artis as quiet and well-kept and said the killing heightened fear in a neighborhood already reporting more burglaries and assaults.

Who in Wilson might have seen activity around Stadium Street that night or knew about suspicious visitors to Artis’ home?
