Two people were killed in a February 5, 2024 shooting on Fodiesville Road in Shannon, North Carolina. Deputies found 31-year-old Lisa Marie Chavis dead at the scene and 30-year-old Linnie B. Locklear Jr. alive but critically wounded; Locklear Jr. was taken to UNC Southeastern Medical Center and died soon afterward.

The Robeson County Sheriff’s Office, working with the ATF, investigated the double homicide. On February 7, 2024, 36-year-old Jamont B. Smith of Red Springs surrendered and was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and felony conspiracy. A second arrest followed on February 13, 2024, when 30-year-old Daniel Hicks of Red Springs was apprehended at an abandoned house near Lumberton and charged with the same offenses. Both were held without bond at the Robeson County Detention Center.

The killings have shaken the Shannon community. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office.
