Dorian ONeil Teachey, 25, was found wounded on the side of Yelverton Grove Road near Smithfield, North Carolina, around 12:30 a.m. on March 27, 2015. A driver first thought he had been struck by a vehicle; emergency responders discovered he had been shot and he later died at WakeMed. Neighbors reported hearing a loud gunshot just after midnight but did not realize a person had been killed.

Johnston County Sheriff’s Office investigators treated the death as a homicide and did not believe it was random. A 19-year-old, Arquile Raeqwon Wilder, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with the shooting. The motive for the killing has not been reported.

Dorian, known as Pooh Bear to family and friends, lived in Dudley and worked as a machine operator at Case Farm. If anyone has information about what happened that night or knew Dorian, please come forward to assist the investigation.
