Demarko McEachern, a 20-year-old African American man, was shot and killed at his home on Saint Louis Street in Fayetteville, North Carolina, shortly after midnight on April 26, 2018. Shots were fired from the road into the house; his 70-year-old grandmother, Carolyn McEachern, was also wounded and treated at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center before being released.

Demarko’s family remembered him as lively, warm, and working to turn his life around after a difficult youth. Warrants were issued for 21-year-old Terrance J. Melvin on charges that included first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, discharging a weapon into occupied property or a vehicle, and assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury. Melvin was described as armed and dangerous and sought by authorities.

In December 2018 U.S. Marshals arrested Terrance Melvin in Savannah, Georgia; he was held in the Chatham County Jail pending extradition. Does anyone who knew Demarko or who was in that neighborhood that night have information to share?
