The Wayne County grand jury indicted four men involved in separate cases last week on murder charges.
Jerry Aundrey Parks, 42, of 912 N. John St., was indicted on a first-degree murder charge for the January 2016 killing of 47-year-old Carlos Cesar Vasquez Luna.
Parks, along with Montrel Demontrin Allen, 41, Billy Renaldo Hamm, 44, and Darius Lamar Chestnut, 35, aided Jennele Lea Howard Wall, 36, in the death of Luna at Sleepy Creek Road in Dudley.
All five were also involved with shooting and injuring 25-year-old Alfred Garcias at the same address.
Parks was indicted on attempted first-degree murder, attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon, first-degree burglary, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and inflict serious injury, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and a habitual felon.
Matthew Craig Moyers, 25, of 1175 B Arrington Bridge Road in Dudley, was indicted on a first-degree murder charge for the death of 25-year-old Joshua Omar Forbes Saturday, July 23, 2016.
Investigators with the Wayne County Sheriff's Office arrested Moyers the following Monday and charged him with one count of murder. Moyers was held without bond.
Moyers was also indicted on four counts of possession of methamphetamine with intent to manufacture, sell and deliver, three counts of possession of drug paraphernalia, maintain a place for using, keeping or selling a controlled substance, possession of stolen goods, possession of schedule IV controlled substance with intent to manufacture, sell and deliver and possession of schedule I controlled substance with intent to manufacture, sell and deliver.
According to a press release from the sheriff's office, Forbes went to a house on Bryan Boulevard in Mar Mac and allegedly got involved with a confrontation in the yard, which led to Moyers shooting Forbes. The press release said Forbes went back to his car and told people he arrived at the house with that he had been shot.
Forbes' friends took him to the hospital, but the press release said he died on the way.
Investigators with the sheriff's office were reportedly aware of the vehicle Moyers drove and found him at a house, located at U.S. 117 S. in Dudley, where he was arrested.
Maj. Tom Effler could not confirm the type of gun used in Forbes' death.
Shontionne Domian Darden, 32, of 306 Wilmington Ave., was indicted on a second-degree murder charge for the death of his mother on July 17, 2016.
According to a Goldsboro Police Department press release, Darden thought he heard an intruder in the house early Friday morning and fired a shot into the hallway. The bullet struck his mother, 49-year-old Sonya Yvonne Darden, and killed her at 306 Wilmington Ave.
He was placed in the Wayne County Jail under a $200,000 secured bond, and he appeared in the Wayne County Court the following Monday.
Maj. Anthony Carmon, head of the Goldsboro Police Department's Criminal Investigations Division, said police recovered a firearm at the scene, but he could not confirm the type of gun used. Carmon could not confirm where Ms. Darden was shot.
"I don't know if the autopsy report has been issued yet," he said.
Jacques Torraines Atkinson, 18, of 110 W. McIver St. in Zebulon, was indicted on a first-degree murder charge for the death of 19-year-old man on June 26, 2016.
Atkinson turned himself in at the Wayne County Magistrate's Office 18 hours later for the shooting death of Michael Jerome Wimbush Jr. at the 900 block of Carver Drive.
Atkinson was held without bond in the Wayne County Jail, and he appeared in Wayne County Court the same day.
Carmon said Atkinson and Wimbush knew each other, but that he did not know how well the two teenagers knew each other.
"I know they're acquainted, but I don't know to what degree they knew each other," Carmon said.
Goldsboro police officers responded to a shots fired call just after 2 p.m. Sunday. When they arrived on scene, Wimbush was found lying on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds.
Wimbush was pronounced dead on the scene.
Investigators with the Goldsboro Police Department immediately launched a probe into the circumstances surrounding Wimbush's death. As a result, Atkinson was named as a suspect.
Carmon said shell casings from a weapon were recovered at the scene Sunday, but that he could not go in to how many casings were recovered.
He said Wimbush was scheduled for an autopsy the day after his death. Carmon said he did not know how many gunshot wounds Wimbush suffered, nor did he know what type of gun was used in the murder.
Atkinson did not give a reason for turning himself in to the magistrate's office, Carmon said. He was officially charged with an open count of murder.
