This is the second shooting for us in two weeks. His stepfather was shot and nearly killed in a hunting accident a couple of weeks ago. Please pray for Chris's son and widow.

Thank you all for teh prayers. So far, LE has been very closed lipped. They aren't telling us much. There are rumors (just like in any small town) that this was some sort of gang initiation, but I don't know. They did live in a rough area.

 

[Kymistry35]

THey got him, thank you Jesus! I don't any details other than what is listed, but the guy who was thought to be a victim was the shooter. I appreciate all the prayers. I didn't know Chris that well, but I think the world of the kids and his wife.

From April 2012:

Attorney Jamal Summey said his client, Clyde Williams, 30, of Roanoke Rapids, entered a plea of guilty to voluntary manslaughter in Halifax County Superior Court Monday before Judge Thomas H. Lock, who imposed a sentence of 92-120 months in prison, with 25 months credit for the jail time Williams has already served...

Williams and another man had gone to P and J to buy marijuana and cocaine from the victim, and an argument ensued. Williams, Summey said, pulled out a gun and fired, and the victim also fired, shooting Williams in the right leg with a shotgun.
