One boy is dead and three are under arrest following what some called a drive-by-shooting in Robbins Tuesday night.
Tomas Pascual was talking with his brother Tuesday night across from the Methodist cemetery when a car made a sweeping circle turn to pull up beside them. Somebody fired a shot that mortally wounded the 18 year old. He died after being flown to UNC Hospital in Chapel Hill.
The two brothers had been standing on a corner across from the church and the old Robbins Primary School a few doors down from their sister's Hemp Street home.
Police responded to the scene and began investigating the shooting. Suddenly, cries of "Sheriff! Sheriff! Red Camaro! Shooter! Red Camaro!" came from several young people. A vehicle of that description tore away from the Econo station just down the street and sped away toward the old Robbins Mill site.
Fire and rescue were called to help Robbins police and sheriff's deputies block streets. Officers measured out evidence on the ground at the end of Hemp Street where a circle of tire tracks traced a path down NC 705 that circled completely and then continued in the original direction.
Robbins Police Chief Jeff Sheffield arrested five people, charging two with first degree murder and three with being accessories after the fact to that crime.
Michael Lee Stidham, Jr. 18, of 4596 Spies Rd., in Star and Briand Andrew McKinney, 16 of 475 Hemp St. in Robbins, are charged with First Degree Murder. Accessory charges were laid against 17-year -old Trae Bradley McKinney of 445 Hemp St., Robbins, and two adults, Benjamin Allen Reyholds, III, 35, and Tara Lynette Reynolds, 34, of the same Robbins address.
