On October 26, 2023, at about 12:41 a.m., deputies found five people shot to death at a residence on Garland Highway near Clinton, North Carolina. The victims were identified as Alfonza Jeffers, 73; Dagoberto Lopez, 33; Hector Salazar Lopez, 39; Lamar Williams, 58, of Rose Hill; and Jamie Lynn Rowland, also known as Jamie Thompson, 47. Each victim was located in a separate bedroom inside the home.

Investigators described the attack as targeted and said the house had been known to authorities for potential drug-related activity. Prosecutors later accused two men, Robert Andrew Daquan Williams (also known as Double Tap Drew), 31, and Derrick George (also known as Pete), 35, of planning a robbery aimed at stealing drugs and drug proceeds. Indictments returned in October 2024 include Hobbs Act robbery, conspiracy, drug distribution counts and related firearms charges; Robert Williams is also charged as a felon in possession of a firearm.

Tips from concerned citizens were credited with advancing the investigation. Anyone with additional information is asked to contact investigators.
