YANCEYVILLE, N.C. (AP) – Authorities in North Carolina have issued murder warrants for a man suspected of killing two women and kidnapping a third.
Media outlets report that the bodies of 45-year-old Sherry Burford and 20-year-old Bridgette Burford were found Saturday inside a home in Yanceyville in the north central part of the state. The two had been shot to death.
The third victim, 21-year-old Courtney Michele Lunsford, lived in the same home as Sherry and Bridgette Burford. Investigators say Lunsford was taken against her will at the time of the shooting.
Authorities issued warrants for 24-year-old Camiah Tylequis Walker, whom they suspect in connection with the shootings and kidnapping. Caswell County sheriff’s deputies say Walker should be considered armed and dangerous.
Lunsford was later found unharmed by the Thomasville Police Department.
