Lassiter Massey Jr., 64, of Dunn, North Carolina, was found shot inside his home on East Bay Street on July 29, 2015. Authorities believe he was shot between midnight and 1 a.m.; his body was discovered just before 9 a.m. when someone went to check on him. Massey was found with a gunshot wound to the back of his right leg and his body was inside the front entrance, though investigators say more than one person had broken in through the back door.

The Dunn Police Department and the State Bureau of Investigation handled the case. Investigators described the shooting as linked to an apparent attempted robbery, yet no valuable items were recovered and family members expressed confusion over the motive. Relatives described Massey as low-key and deeply mourned his loss. No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified and the investigation remains open.
