On the morning of September 14, 2024, a double homicide in Woodleaf, North Carolina claimed the lives of 35-year-old Bryan Christian Burr and 43-year-old Teri Freeman. Bryan Burr and Freeman were found inside a home on Old Oak Lane with fatal gunshot wounds after Amanda Burr received a disturbing photograph from family friend Jonathan Freeman and called emergency services around 8:42 a.m. Deputy response located both victims; Jonathan Freeman, 44, was at the scene and was taken into custody without incident.

Authorities say evidence collected at the residence and incriminating statements Jonathan Freeman made to people he contacted after the killings led to his arrest. He was charged with two counts of murder and held in the Rowan County Detention Center without bond, with an initial court appearance set for September 17, 2024. The motive remains unclear and the investigation is ongoing.

Bryan Burr was remembered as an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting and fishing, active with the youth group at Charity Baptist Church and devoted to his family. He is survived by his wife, Mandie, and their three children. If anyone has information that could help the investigation, please share what is known.
