3 people killed, 1 hurt in Bladen County shooting. Deputies are looking for suspect.
Bladen County Sheriff’s investigators are looking for a Clarkton man accused in a triple murder early Sunday morning.
Taurean Reshaul Johnson, 36, is charged with three counts of murder and one count of attempted murder, sheriff’s officials posted on the department’s Facebook page.
Johnson is accused of entering a home on Tina Lane, off N.C. 211 in Clarkton, before 1:30 a.m. Sunday and shooting several people, investigators reported. The home is in a mobile home park in a rural area just northeast of town.
Three victims — Catrice Lacole Murchison, 30; Ronnie Lebert Kelly, 27; and Guy Lennon Barden Jr., 60 — were killed, investigators said. A 69-year-old woman survived.
All four people are believed to have lived at the home, police said.
Johnson fled the scene, investigators said, and a “be on the lookout” order has been sent out to several Southeastern states. The investigation is continuing.
Anyone with information can call the Bladen County Sheriff’s Office at 910-862-6960.
