Necole DeMont Horne, a 26-year-old African American man, was shot multiple times and killed on February 7, 2014, at the Sunoco gas station on Franklin Street in Monroe, North Carolina. Surveillance footage shows 22-year-old Christopher Thomas approach Horne, yell at him, then shoot him. Horne was taken to a hospital and later died of his injuries.

After the shooting Thomas attempted to flee with his 4-month-old daughter in the car, triggering a high-speed chase on Highway 74 that ended in a four-car crash. Thomas was arrested and charged with murder, child abuse, and other offenses. Horne’s girlfriend, Monica Reid, said he had been in Monroe to buy diapers and milk for their 2-month-old baby; his aunt Margaret Dillingham described the family’s shock at a daytime killing.

The motive remains under investigation. Does anyone have information about Horne’s movements in Monroe that afternoon or about the events at the Sunoco station?
