Larry Wilkins Jr., 37, was shot and killed on March 9, 2014, after arranging a meeting through a Craigslist ad to sell his 2006 Ford Mustang. The meeting took place at the Sycamore Lake Apartments on Sycamore View Road near Raleigh LaGrange Road, where Wilkins lived with his fiancée. He was shot multiple times in the back and pronounced dead at the scene; the attackers then fled in his Mustang.

Investigators determined the meeting was a setup for a robbery. Three men who responded to the ad had no intention of buying the car and instead planned to steal it. Evidence at the scene included the sellers vehicle left behind and the stolen Mustang being seen the next day driven by two of the suspects. Three suspects — Martiness Henderson, then 19, Brandon Vance, 23, and Walter Collins, 20 — were charged with first-degree murder. All three were convicted and received life sentences; Henderson’s conviction had been overturned at one point and later reinstated.

Wilkins was a father of six and worked as a FedEx package handler. Does anyone have information about that March 2014 meeting or saw the Mustang in the days after the killing?
