Joseph Earl Gore Jr., 53, of Fayetteville, North Carolina, died on January 10, 2019. A funeral service was held at Herring Funeral Care & Cremations Chapel and he was buried at Sandhills State Veterans Cemetery. The circumstances of his death have not been publicly detailed.

A separate matter involves Joe Lemans Gore Jr., 23, also of Fayetteville, who was arrested in connection with a January 2022 homicide in Rock Hill, South Carolina. He was charged with murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, and attempted possession of a controlled substance. The victim in that case was 26-year-old Deshawn Barnes, who was shot at an apartment complex on Celanese Road. Two others, Jaelon Kelly and James Williams II, were also arrested and charged with murder in the same incident.

Does anyone have information about Joseph Gore Jr. or the Rock Hill case that could help clarify the timeline or connections between those involved?
