Emerson Truitt Roebuck, 71, of Salisbury, North Carolina, was shot to death in his West Kerr Street home on October 19, 2019. His roommate heard gunshots and found Roebuck in the living room; he was taken to Novant Health Rowan Medical Center but died of his injuries.

Investigators arrested three suspects in connection with the killing. Ronald Dashawn Pruitt, 17, and Kenyatta Raphalle Belton Jr., 16, both of Salisbury, were charged with first-degree murder and robbery with a dangerous weapon and were taken into custody at Belton’s residence on Harrison Road. A third suspect, Tai Alexander Mosley, 21, of Salisbury, was charged with the same offenses and surrendered to Concord police a few days later. Police said the suspects entered Roebuck’s home intending to rob him and that the crime was not random.

Roebuck was described by family as active and social, enjoying exercise, gardening, embroidery, daily walks and dancing. Did anyone in Salisbury know Emerson Roebuck or have information about events on October 19, 2019?
