A late-night shooting at the J-Mart, 904 Virginia Street in Eden, North Carolina, left one man dead and a second injured. On August 2, 2023, about 10:45 p.m., police found evidence of a shooting in the store parking lot; two people, Sierra Carter and Derek Gold-Mouf Hairston, were later treated at a local hospital. Derek Hairston, 33, died of his wounds on August 13, 2023, at Wake Forest Baptist Hospital in Winston Salem. Hairston was an Eden resident, a father of six, and had won the 2005–2006 state wrestling championship at John M.

Morehead High School. Investigators identified two individuals on surveillance footage tied to an altercation that led to the gunfire: 35-year-old William Cordero Lindsey and 32-year-old Kwes Lashad Keen. Lindsey was arrested and charged with first-degree murder after Hairston’s death; Keen remained at large and investigators asked the public for help locating him.

Does anyone in the Eden area have information about that night or about Keen’s whereabouts?
