Wendell Sanders Jr, 35, was killed in a drive-by shooting on March 27, 2017, on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue in Enfield, North Carolina. Sanders was standing with a group of five or six people returning from a store when a pickup truck drove by and someone inside opened fire. Two other men were wounded — one shot in the arm and 30-year-old Gerald Fowler shot in the leg and treated at Pitt Memorial Hospital; his injury raised concern about whether he would be able to walk again.

The State Bureau of Investigation and the Enfield Police Department investigated. Two men, Jerrel Jones, 25, and Montrell Williams, 26, turned themselves in and faced charges including first-degree murder, two counts of attempted murder, and discharging a firearm in connection with a pattern of street gang activity. Neighbors described Sanders as a good person who didn’t bother anyone. The motive for the shooting was not immediately clear.
