Sam Scoggins Jr., a 41-year-old African American man, was found with a gunshot wound at the intersection of West Holt and Sellars streets in Burlington, North Carolina, on February 2, 2016. He was taken to Alamance Regional Medical Center and pronounced dead shortly after arrival. The Burlington Police Department classified the incident as a homicide and opened an investigation.

Investigators arrested two men in connection with the killing. Leobardo Angel Flores, 24 and from Burlington, was charged with first-degree murder and accessory after the fact. Tyrell Lee Yancey, 24, was later arrested with help from the U.S. Marshals Service, the Alamance County Sheriff’s Office, and the Graham Police Department and charged with first-degree murder; he was held without bond. Authorities have not disclosed a motive and indicated further arrests were possible.

Sam was survived by his wife, Sabrina W. Scoggins, and their children; he enjoyed detailing cars, grilling, and spending time with family. Does anyone have information about Sam or witnessed activity near West Holt and Sellars on February 2, 2016?
