Tony Lee Pittman Jr. was a 31-year-old African-American man who died on November 29, 2014, in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. Born April 12, 1983, he was a Rocky Mount resident. His death became part of a wider probe into a string of killings in the area known as the Edgecombe County serial killings, a series that primarily involved African-American women found dead in rural parts of Edgecombe and Halifax counties.

Investigators and the community connected Tony Pittman Jr.’s death to the broader pattern of violence under investigation. Antwan Maurice Pittman emerged as a key suspect in the region’s cases and was convicted of first-degree murder in the death of Taraha Shenice Nicholson; he was linked to other killings though not charged in every case. Families sought justice as investigations and legal proceedings continued. Does anyone have information about Tony’s life or the events around late November 2014 that could help clarify what happened?
