Ronald Dean Locklear, 31, was found dead on the kitchen floor of his single-wide mobile home at 912 Wesley Road in Rowland, Robeson County, on the evening of Friday, August 26, 2005. He lived alone and had been seen by relatives earlier that day. The death was caused by multiple gunshot wounds.

Physical evidence was collected at the scene and extensive interviews were conducted. Investigators say Locklear may have known his assailant or assailants and that several strong leads developed, but more information is still needed to make an arrest. Authorities believe someone connected to the crime may be afraid to come forward.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office at (910) 671-3000 or the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation at (800) 334-3000. Did anyone in Rowland at the time know Ronald or see something that could help explain who was involved?
