Second arrest made in Mount Holly double homicide
The Mount Holly Police Department arrested a teenager they said was involved in a double homicide in December.
Zabreon Isaiah Wallace, 18, of Mount Holly, was arrested Friday in Fairmount, North Carolina. He was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon.
The charges are related to the deaths of Jaylan Marray Jackson, 19, and Jayden Dae'shun Munson, 19, both residents of Concord.
They were pronounced dead at the scene.
Mount Holly Police say it was a collaborative effort that lead to the arrest.
“The Mount Holly Police Department acknowledges and extends its deepest gratitude to the U.S. Marshal's Service - Carolinas Regional Fugitive Task Force, the Belmont Police Department, and the Fairmount Police Department for their collaborative efforts that led to this arrest,” the department said in a press release Friday afternoon.
