Joshua Richard Gutierrez, 25, of Hope Mills, North Carolina, was shot to death on November 12, 2015, when someone fired into his trailer on the 4900 block of Madison Drive in a mobile home park. A woman injured in that shooting, 20-year-old Keishanna Finch, survived; she had also been shot during an earlier August 2015 robbery at the same home in which both victims were assaulted.
Joshua, born March 31, 1990, in Watertown, New York, left behind three children — Jaidyn Nathaniel Gutierrez, Alice Nichole Fulcher, and Matthew Austin Guillory — along with his mother, stepfather, siblings, and grandparents. The later investigation produced multiple arrests: Tyrone Judea Hall III, 23, of Fayetteville, was charged with first-degree murder, discharging a weapon into an occupied property causing serious bodily injury, and assault with a dangerous weapon causing serious injury. Co-defendants David Rivera and Abraham Devonta Shuler were charged in connection with the earlier robbery and assault.
Hall was arrested in Baltimore with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service Violent Fugitive Task Force and returned to Fayetteville. The investigation into Joshua’s murder remains active; anyone with information is asked to come forward.
