Rodney Leon Kellam, a 37-year-old African American man, was found dead from a gunshot wound outside a house on Glovenia Street in Eden, North Carolina, shortly after 7:30 PM on April 1, 2018. The Eden Police Department opened an investigation into the shooting.

Authorities identified 36-year-old Al-Jamar Lindsey as a suspect and issued a warrant charging him with second-degree murder; he was at large and sought by police. Investigators also named Corey Keen as a person of interest who had been charged with attempted murder in a separate convenience-store shooting and was suspected of involvement in other shootings in the area, but any direct connection between Keen and Kellam’s death remained unclear.

The community was left seeking answers as detectives gathered evidence and pursued leads. If anyone knew Rodney Kellam, saw activity on Glovenia Street that evening, or has information about Lindsey or Keen, please come forward.
