On the night of March 15, 2025, a shooting at a convenience store on the corner of Stokes Street and East Raleigh Boulevard in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, left 35-year-old Jotavian Wilkins and 27-year-old Ty’Quean Sharpe dead. The shooting occurred around 10:50 p.m.; responding officers found three people with gunshot wounds. A third victim, 29-year-old Keymon Ervin, was taken to a hospital, treated, and later released.

Investigators identified 22-year-old Tylik Rashad Mabry as the primary suspect. Mabry, a convicted felon on parole, was found hiding in a motel in Winston-Salem and taken into custody on an outstanding warrant for violating his parole. After the arrest, he was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, shooting into an occupied dwelling, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He is being held at the Forsyth County Detention Center without bond on the parole violation while homicide-related warrants await service.

The investigation is ongoing as authorities continue to gather evidence and seek information about the circumstances of the fatal shooting. Does anyone have information about the scene that night or knew Wilkins, Sharpe, or Ervin?
