Brandon Morris, 19, was shot and killed on October 28, 2017, in Laurinburg, North Carolina. He was found unresponsive and gasping for air at the end of a driveway after a party on Salem Street, then taken to Scotland Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Witnesses said there was no argument or altercation before the shooting; bullets also struck a nearby vehicle, which was damaged but caused no other injuries.

Laurinburg Police arrested 45-year-old Aaron T. Saddler on a murder charge; he has a criminal history dating back to 1988 that includes larceny, drug charges, possession of a firearm by a felon, and assault with a deadly weapon. A 21-year-old, Lamont Worth, was arrested and charged with obstruction of the investigation. Police Chief Darwin Williams said the investigation is ongoing and further charges may be possible. Police asked anyone with information to come forward.

Brandon’s brother, Latrell Allen, had been shot and killed in May at an apartment complex on Charlotte Street; authorities say the two cases do not appear to be connected. Does anyone have information about the October 28 shooting or remember the party on Salem Street that night?
