Kyle Bullard, 27, of Lumberton, North Carolina, was shot and killed during an early-morning robbery at his home on Old Whiteville Road on June 10, 2016. Four masked men entered the residence at about 12:15 a.m., shot Kyle, then robbed him and his mother of personal items. The Robeson County Sheriff’s Office treated the death as a homicide and opened an investigation.

Authorities identified four suspects: Mitchell Ryan Shaw, 21; Dominique Delton Page, 16; Dylan Vance Smith, 16; and Austin Duncan, 16. All four were charged with first-degree murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon, first-degree burglary, and felony conspiracy and were held without bond at the Robeson County Detention Center. Records available at the time showed Shaw had been placed on probation in 2014 for shoplifting in Robeson County; records for the other suspects were not available.

Kyle was born June 22, 1988, in Charlotte and worked in tree service. He is survived by his mother, Kathy Bullard-Pope; his father, Ricky Williams; his brother, Zachary Pope; and grandparents Herman and Martha Bullard and Dennis and Peggy Pope. It remained unclear whether Kyle was specifically targeted or if the attack was random.
