Kenny Ray Floyd, 38, of Lumberton, North Carolina, was shot and died at Southeastern Medical Center on January 16, 2017. Police found his body on Wilson Street after a call about 6:20 p.m. Investigators say witnesses reported Floyd had been called out to the area and was shot from the woods.

Three men were later implicated in the killing. Jonathon Haywood, 37, and Quintin Mitchell, 29, were charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder after turning themselves in. Frederick Beverly, 39, was arrested on charges of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, and robbery with a dangerous weapon.

Floyd had been expected to testify in the 2012 shootings of John Rowe and Sharon Crump; Rowe later died and Crump was wounded. Prosecutors say Floyd’s death prevented that testimony and affected charging decisions in the earlier case. Anyone with information about the Wilson Street shooting or who saw activity in the area that evening is asked to come forward.
