Mysun Jones, 20, was killed in Enfield, North Carolina on April 1, 2026 in what authorities described as an act of gun violence. After the shooting, a red Kia linked to the incident was spotted in neighboring Nash County. Deputies’ attempt to stop the vehicle led to a high-speed pursuit across county lines that ended in a crash in Nash County.

Both occupants abandoned the wrecked Kia and ran. Law enforcement located the driver, identified as Clarence Atkins Jr., hiding under a mobile home, and later found the passenger, Marian Hodge III, concealed in the attic of an abandoned house. Both men were taken into custody and are being held at the Nash County Detention Center; authorities said they could face additional charges related to the homicide as the investigation continues.
