Bryan Keith Harrell, 50, of Windsor, North Carolina, was found fatally shot inside a vehicle on the morning of October 4, 2016. Deputies from the Bertie County Sheriff’s Office responded to a shots fired call near Cedar Landing Road and discovered the vehicle parked in an open field beside the basketball court at Cedar Landing Missionary Baptist Church. An autopsy determined Harrell died of two gunshot wounds and the death was ruled a homicide.

The Bertie County Sheriff’s Office with assistance from the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation opened an immediate inquiry. The Cedar Landing community and the sheriff’s office together offered a $2,000 reward for information leading to arrest and conviction. In November 2016 a 21-year-old man was arrested in connection with Harrell’s murder and the investigation continued afterward.

If anyone knew Bryan, was in the Cedar Landing area that morning, or has information that wasn’t shared with investigators, please come forward.
