Imani Shabriyah Olivier, a 20-year-old African American woman, was found dead on August 23, 2018, in Sanford, North Carolina. Her body was discovered inside a car parked near the emergency room entrance of Central Carolina Hospital after authorities responded to a report of a shooting. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators determined Olivier had been shot at the Autumn Oaks Apartments on Willow Oak Road and was then transported to the hospital in a personal vehicle; it remains unclear whether she drove herself or was driven there. Neighbors reported hearing multiple gunshots and one neighbor described seeing a car speed away. On August 24, 2018, two people were charged: 18-year-old Tyrone Frederick Pegues was charged with first-degree murder and held without bond, and 19-year-old Ashley Nicole Murchison was charged with accessory after the fact to first-degree murder and held under a $75,000 secured bond. Both had court dates set for August 27, 2018.

The motive and the nature of any relationship between Olivier and the charged individuals have not been disclosed. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Sanford Police Department.
