Sammy Lemarcus Evans, 42, was shot and killed inside a residence at 109 N. Herman Street in Goldsboro, North Carolina, on the night of November 21, 2017. Police say the city’s ShotSpotter system alerted officers at about 8:42 p.m.; officers found Evans on the floor near the back door with a gunshot wound and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The investigation led to two arrests. Aijalon Derice Dove, 26, was arrested on November 22, 2017, at the Econo Lodge on Corporate Drive and charged with an open count of murder, eight counts of firing into an occupied dwelling, and possession of a firearm by a felon. Octavius Thompson, 23, was arrested on December 5, 2017, on an open count of murder; both men were held without bond in the Wayne County Detention Center. The Goldsboro Police VICE Unit, Gang Unit, Crime Scene Unit and Selective Enforcement Unit, along with the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, worked the case, and city panoramic Tsunami cameras near the scene were used to identify suspects.
