David Samuel McLean, 59, known in Maxton, North Carolina as Car Wash Man, was found unresponsive on McLaughlin Street on December 7, 2017. The cause of death was an apparent gunshot wound, and the discovery shocked the local community.

The Maxton Police Department, with assistance from the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, opened an inquiry that led to arrests in January 2018. Two men, Sikia Artis Jr., 24, and Daquanta Armond Dixon, 19, were charged with first-degree murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and first-degree burglary and were held without bond at the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office. Their first court appearances were scheduled soon after arrest.

The motive for the shooting has not been released publicly, and questions remain about what led to McLean’s death. Does anyone in Maxton have information about McLean, his routines, or the events of early December 2017?
