Janice Harris, 72, of Whitakers, North Carolina, was found shot to death on August 21, 2017, along with three other elderly people in the Harris home on Fishing Creek Road in the Glenview community near Enfield. Reports say the victims — Janice and James Harris, James Whitley and Peggy Jo Whitley — were sitting around a kitchen table playing cards when they were ambushed and shot. Authorities said the home may have been specifically targeted and described the incident as possibly gang-related; forensic evidence was collected at the scene.

Four men were charged in the case: Matthew Lewis Simms, 26, of Enfield; Keyon Quarice West, 25; James Edward Powell, 26; and Dontayvious Devonte Moochie Cotton, 25, each facing four counts of first-degree murder and subject to capital prosecutions. Multiple agencies assisted in the investigation, and a reward and a fund for the Harrises’ injured dog were established. The crime devastated the small community.

Did anyone in the Glenview or Whitakers area know the victims or notice anything unusual around Fishing Creek Road before August 21, 2017?
