Kevin Lamont Stephens, known as Kel-bo, was 29 when he was found shot near apartment 10 at the Meadowview Road housing complex in Lumberton, North Carolina, on July 4, 2015. Officers responded to a report of shots fired; Stephens was located at about 5:15 AM and later pronounced dead at Southeastern Regional Medical Center. The District Attorney’s Office investigator assisted the Lumberton Police Department with the scene.
