Maurice V. Williams Jr., 21, was shot and killed on March 20, 2015, in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The shooting occurred around 8 p.m. on Rosehill Road near College Lakes Park while Maurice was a passenger in a vehicle. He was transported to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center and later died from his injuries.

A man inside the vehicle began firing; the driver, 21-year-old Aisha Marie Ferrin, was wounded but her injuries were not life-threatening. Authorities identified 22-year-old Kenneth Jerome Hobbs Jr. as the shooter. Hobbs fled on foot after jumping from the vehicle; his body was found early the next morning near Rosehill Road and McArthur Drive. Hobbs had been charged with first-degree murder in Maurice’s death, and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Raleigh examined the circumstances of Hobbs’ death.

The Fayetteville Police Department Homicide Unit continued investigating to establish motives and the events leading up to the shooting. If anyone has information about Maurice, the people with him that night, or what led to this attack, please come forward.
