Brittany Nicole Locklear, 27, of Rowland, North Carolina, was struck by a stray bullet and killed on April 28, 2016. The shooting took place on the 2500 block of South Robeson Road during an ongoing dispute between two families; Brittany was not involved in the conflict and was found dead at the scene.

Carlton Delvin Leake, 27, of Fairmont, North Carolina, was charged with first-degree murder in connection with Brittany’s death and also charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury for shooting a second person, 34-year-old Carlton Dixon. Dixon, who had been trying to stop the conflict, sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Leake was held in the Robeson County Detention Center under no bond on the murder charge and a $250,000 secured bond on the assault charge.

Brittany’s death was the third homicide in Robeson County that week and left the community mourning someone remembered for kindness and love of family and friends. Does anyone have information about what happened on South Robeson Road that evening?
