Chavez Lamar Spearman, a 21-year-old African American man from Lillington, North Carolina, was found dead in a vehicle on February 26, 2014, in Sanford. He had been shot in the face and was discovered sitting in the driveway of 2414 Shawnee Drive. A handgun was found in the vehicle and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities arrested two 21-year-old Sanford residents, Marcel Lamar McNeill and Laquan Maurice Thomas, charging both with first-degree murder and robbery with a dangerous weapon. Investigators alleged the men threatened Spearman with a firearm, took his cellphone and book bag, then shot him; both were held without bond in the Lee County jail. The investigation identified robbery as the alleged motive.

The community responded to the violence and the loss of a young life. Does anyone have information about Spearman, his movements that day, or the incident at 2414 Shawnee Drive?
