Patrick Legarnt Geddie, a 42-year-old African American man, was found dead just before midnight on March 6, 2020, in the 100 block of South Fifth Street in Spring Lake, North Carolina. Police arrived after a call about a man covered in blood and discovered Geddie nonresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The investigation led to the arrest of 19-year-old Desean Golden, a military dependent living on Fort Bragg. Golden was charged with first-degree murder and was being held in the Cumberland County Detention Center without bail. Authorities described the motive as unclear and the case as still under investigation.

Geddie’s obituary in the Fayetteville Observer notes the grief of his family and that funeral services were held in his honor. Does anyone have information about Geddie, the shooting, or what happened in Spring Lake that night?
