Jul. 21—LUMBERTON — An 18-year-old charged in a deadly Lumberton shooting became the fourth suspect arrested in the case after turning himself into authorities on Wednesday, Lumberton Police said.

The shooting on North Walnut Street led to the death of 44-year-old Derrick Hester, who died from his injuries, and hospitalized Ashley Hunt, 35, in stable condition.

UNC Health Southeastern no longer provides updates on the condition of patients who were victims of a violent crime.

Along with first-degree murder, Osbourne has been charged with attempted first-degree murder, discharging a weapon into an occupied property and felony conspiracy, police said.

When police arrived on the scene on that Wednesday, they found a man and a woman shot inside a vehicle that had veered off the road and into a yard.

The victims were taken to UNC Health Southeastern.

Osbourne is currently being held in the Robeson County Detention Center under no bond, police said.
