Christopher Chad Bostic, 37, was shot and killed during an armed robbery at his business, The Pit Stop Bar and Billiards on Highway 11 just north of Kinston, North Carolina, around 1 p.m. on January 22, 2016. An SKS-type rifle was used; another man, John James Case, was seriously wounded. Bostic’s wife, Joy, had brought him lunch and was present when the back door opened, someone demanded money, two armed men entered, and shots were fired. Joy said her husband told her he loved her and their daughters before he died.

Surveillance footage of the suspects’ vehicle prompted arrests. Three men were charged: Tiamel Bradley, 19, with murder, attempted first-degree murder, and armed robbery with a dangerous weapon; Justin Lavone Lynch, 18, with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, and robbery with a dangerous weapon and other charges; and Travares Marquel Lane, 21, with aiding and abetting murder, aiding and abetting attempted murder, aiding and abetting robbery with a dangerous weapon, and accessory after the fact, among other charges. Bradley and Lynch were held without bond. Investigators continue to determine whether additional people were involved.

Bostic was the owner of The Pit Stop Bar and the Southern Tap Pool League, a graduate of Ayden-Grifton High School, and is survived by his wife Joy and three daughters, Brooke, Nicole, and C.J. Bostic. Does anyone have information about the robbery or the suspects’ movements before or after January 22, 2016?
