A man walked into a sheriff's office and said he killed his daughter that day, police say

A North Carolina man faces murder charges after he walked into a sheriff’s office and confessed to killing his teenage daughter, the Union County Sheriff’s Office said on Facebook.

Joshua Lee Burgess, 32, entered the sheriff’s office lobby around 9:30 a.m. Sunday and told the dispatcher that he wanted to turn himself in. Once the dispatcher started searching for possible arrest warrants, Burgess told her that she wouldn’t find his name or information because he had just killed someone that day.

The victim was his 15-year-old daughter, Zaria Joshalyn Burgess. Joshua Burgess told the dispatcher that the incident occurred that morning. He also gave detailed information about his daughter’s death and where her body was located.
