On the afternoon of September 25, 2018, 24-year-old African American male Jihad Yasin Vaughan was fatally shot outside the Eastover Terrace Apartments in Clinton, North Carolina. Officers from the Clinton Police Department, Sampson County Sheriff’s Deputies and EMS arrived after reports of a gunshot victim at about 2:38 p.m. They found Vaughan unresponsive; CPR was performed but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Preliminary investigation indicates the shooting followed an argument at the apartment complex and ended with gunfire. Witnesses saw a suspect flee in a red vehicle. A person of interest later arrived at Sampson Regional Medical Center with a gunshot wound to the foot about two hours after the shooting. No weapon was recovered at the scene, the motive remains unclear, and no arrests have been announced.

Did anyone in Clinton see a red vehicle leaving Eastover Terrace Apartments that afternoon or have information about the argument leading up to the shooting?
