Taurus Lyn Locklear, 29, of Rowland, North Carolina, was found dead from gunshot wounds on August 5, 2016. His body was discovered in a car parked with its engine running on Woodland Avenue in Lumberton. The Robeson County Sheriff’s Office investigated the death as a homicide.

Locklear had been charged in 2011 with first-degree murder in the shooting death of Brandon Lee Hunt in Fairmont; those charges were dropped in 2015 when his attorneys argued there was insufficient evidence. A co-defendant, Quintin Taylor, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in that case.

Following Locklear’s death, Quentin Jamale Williams, 27, of Lumberton, was charged with first-degree murder in connection with the shooting; authorities issued a warrant linking him to the incident.

Did anyone in Lumberton or Rowland have information about Locklear’s movements or the Woodland Avenue area the morning he was found?
