John Henry Little, a 61-year-old African American man from Elm City, North Carolina, was shot to death at his residence on February 20, 2012. His death occurred in the same incident that claimed the life of Charlene Jones Leake, 43; both bodies were found inside a home near Elm City and the scene was described as grisly.

Investigators linked the killings to a personal relationship: the alleged perpetrator, Verna Lee Farmer, was reported to have been the former boyfriend of Little’s current partner. Farmer was charged with the murders of both Little and Leake.
