Edward Phipps, 49, was shot to death during a home invasion at his mobile home in the Arrowhead Mobile Home Park in Woodland, North Carolina. Deputies from the Northampton County Sheriff’s Office responded just before midnight on September 28, 2017 to reports of shots fired; Phipps died of his injuries a few hours later.

Investigators described the incident as a violent crime involving multiple perpetrators. Arrests began within days: on September 25, 2017 Raquan Omar Williams, 22, was charged with first-degree murder and other offenses; on October 2, 2017 four additional suspects were arrested — Shirley Williams, Deshawn Lamont Beverly, Deshy Obraint Gatling, and Eric Vaughan Jr. — each charged with first-degree murder and related counts.

Anyone with information about the home invasion or who knew Edward Phipps is asked to come forward with tips or memories that could help the ongoing record of the case?
