Leon Deondre Carmon, 25, was found dead on July 26, 2018, inside his 2015 Nissan Sentra parked on the side of Woodrow McCoy Road in Cove City, North Carolina. His family had reported him missing the day before. The Craven County Sheriff’s Office ruled the death a homicide caused by a gunshot wound.

Family members, including his mother Shannon Carmon, have spoken publicly about their loss, describing Leon as a young father and a beloved member of the community. They have actively appealed for information and offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. No arrests or significant leads had been reported for several years following the killing.

If anyone knew Leon, saw him in the Cove City area in late July 2018, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward to the Craven County Sheriff’s Office.
