On April 14, 2023, a shooting at a home on Jernigan Airport Road in Ahoskie, North Carolina, left 17-year-old Jaylen Lamar Carey and 46-year-old Derrick Lamont Monger dead after the two reportedly exchanged gunfire. The confrontation was said to be connected to an earlier dispute involving a member of Monger’s family and Carey.

Shortly after the initial exchange, the same residence was the target of a retaliatory attack. Multiple shots were fired into the home, and 25-year-old Joshua Devonte Tann, a relative of Carey’s, was grazed by bullet fragments; he was treated at ECU Health Roanoke-Chowan Hospital and released. Several people were arrested in connection with the retaliatory shooting: 21-year-old Cameron Jaiy’er Lassiter and 20-year-old Justin Rashad Powell were each charged with two counts of attempted murder and two counts of discharging a weapon into occupied property. Brandin Deandre Hawkins, 24, was charged with accessory after the fact. Authorities later arrested 47-year-old Andreas Monger, charged with two counts each of attempted first-degree murder and discharging a weapon into occupied property, and 29-year-old Rashad Quadre Harmon, charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of discharging a weapon into occupied property, and possession of a firearm by a felon; bonds were set as reported.
