Ingrid Odom, 43, of Raeford, North Carolina, was shot during a birthday party at the home of 26-year-old Eric Oldfield in St. Pauls on October 7, 2018, and died of her injuries the next day at Southeastern Regional Medical Center. Odom had gone to Oldfield’s residence with her 21-year-old daughter, Sarah Posey, to pick up Posey’s child. An argument between Posey’s boyfriend, Carter Molchan, and Oldfield escalated; Oldfield shot Posey in the back and then shot Odom when she intervened.

Charges were initially filed against Oldfield for assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill; after Odom died the charge against him was upgraded to first-degree murder. He also faces an assault with a deadly weapon charge in connection with the shooting of Sarah Posey. Odom was born March 23, 1975, in Biloxi, Mississippi, raised in Erwin, North Carolina, graduated from Triton High School in 1993, and was a member of Sansom Community Church in Dunn.

Did anyone at the party or in the area see how the argument began or what led to the shootings?
