Crisoforo Escudero Victorino, a 41-year-old Hispanic man, was found dead in his Massey Street home in Monroe, North Carolina, on August 21, 2016. Police were called about 2:10 a.m. and discovered Victorino with a gunshot wound to the head; investigators determined he had been shot in his home early that morning.

Detectives from the Monroe Police Department, the State Bureau of Investigation, and the Union County District Attorney’s Office worked the case. On September 8, 2016, five teenagers — Jamarius Davon Burns, Robert Lee Ashcraft, Jaleel Nivens, Zaire Nakwon Funderburk, and Jemerik Q. Garmon — were arrested and charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree burglary, and felony conspiracy; all five were held without bond in the Union County Jail. Union County Crime Stoppers had offered up to a $5,000 reward for leads that could lead to arrests.
