BEULAVILLEL, N.C. (WNCT) — The Duplin County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of a man on murder charges.
Officials said they responded on Wednesday to a shooting on Hunting Club Road near Pink Hill. A short time later, they received another call that a man had just arrived at an address in Lynn Court in Beulaville. He had been shot and was unresponsive.
Duplin County Deputies responded to both locations, secured them as crime scenes and began an investigation. It was believed that the two reported calls were related, due to the locations being in close proximity to each other.
