Vincent Carlisle Jr., a 17-year-old African American rising senior at Johnathan’s House Christian School, was found dead on August 14, 2011, in a wooded area north of Spring Lake, near Fayetteville, North Carolina. His body was located four days after he left home and did not return. The state medical examiner in Chapel Hill performed an autopsy that found he had been shot in the back.

Two Fort Bragg soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division, Pvt. Sebastian Gamez and Spc. Christopher Blackett, both 20, were charged with first-degree murder and disposing of a corpse in connection with his death and were held without bond at the Harnett County Detention Center. Vincent had transferred from Overhills High to Johnathan’s House Christian School and was remembered by his principal, Melanie Stewart, as an intelligent young man with plans for the future.

Does anyone have information about Vincent’s last known movements or who he was with in the days before he disappeared?
