Kenneth Pressell, 28, was shot to death at the Marion Express Food Mart on February 21, 2014, around 10:30 p.m. Officers found Pressell lying on the ground with gunshot wounds and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities say a confrontation in the convenience store parking lot between Pressell and 27-year-old Jeffrey Ray Elkins escalated and ended with Pressell’s fatal shooting. Elkins was arrested at the scene and charged with murder; he was held at the McDowell County Detention Center. The community in Marion, NC, reacted strongly as investigators continued to piece together the events that led to the shooting.
Does anyone have information about what sparked the confrontation that night or witnessed the incident?
