On November 26, 2011, 33-year-old Ardell Paige Jr was found dead at a triplex at 288 Ingram Street in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Paige and 26-year-old Krystle Price Papile were discovered tied up and deceased. Three other people were wounded in the same attack; one of those injured, Gregory Steven Fitzgerald, 37, later died at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center. The other two survivors, Stephanie Lashaun Croom, 30, and Bennie Darwin King, 50, were hospitalized with injuries.

Police say the suspect, 44-year-old Shawn Lee Legrand, was known to at least one victim; Legrand and Paige were cousins. Legrand was apprehended after a police chase that ended in a shootout in which he was shot and taken to hospital. Legrand had been released from prison about five months earlier after serving nearly 19 years for prior convictions including first-degree burglary, robbery, and assault. Investigators reported that Legrand confronted and killed one victim before attacking the others as they arrived at the home; the motive remains unclear.

If anyone knew Ardell Paige Jr, his movements that day, or has information about the attack at 288 Ingram Street, please come forward.
