Dwayne Larry Sawyer was killed on March 25, 2014, in Linden, North Carolina. He was 27 and was inside a home on Durant Nixon Road when someone fired multiple rounds through the front door; about a dozen bullet holes were later counted in the door, a nearby window and a shutter. Sawyer was struck and died at the scene.

Two other men in the house were wounded but survived. Dominique Wiley, 22, who had recently moved into the home, and 33-year-old Darius Elliot were taken to a local hospital with injuries described as not life-threatening. Investigators say the shooter knew the victims, but no motive has been released.

The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office named 32-year-old Roderick Nathaniel Davis as a person of interest and said he was last seen driving a gray Chrysler PT Cruiser or a Chevrolet HHR. He is described as 6 feet tall, about 165 pounds, with brown eyes and long black dreadlocks. No arrests or charges have been announced and the investigation remains open.

If anyone has information about that night or the vehicle and its whereabouts, please contact the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office.
