On August 6, 2024, 33-year-old Jaquin Kymane Bethea Jr. was fatally shot at a residence on Ridge Road in Supply, North Carolina. Officers arrived around 6:25 p.m. and found Bethea deceased from a gunshot wound. Bethea, described as jovial, reportedly tried to defuse the situation by jokingly telling Goodwin to put the gun up; Goodwin then shot him.

Attendees fled after the shooting and Bethea was left mortally wounded. The Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office has identified Goodwin as the primary suspect and warned he is armed and dangerous; he is described as 30 years old, 5 feet 7 inches, with black hair and brown eyes. A reward has been offered for information leading to his arrest.

Does anyone have information about Bethea, the events that night, or Goodwin’s whereabouts?
