ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. — One man is dead and another is hospitalized after a shooting incident in Elizabeth City early Saturday morning.
According to an Elizabeth City Police Department spokesperson, this happened just after midnight when their officers were dispatched to the Hickory Village Mobile Home Park on River Road in reference to some sort of argument. When they arrived at that location, they found two men who had each been shot several times. Both men were taken by EMS to Sentara Albemarle Medical Center.
35-year-old Cedric Green was subsequently transported to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital where he currently remains. His current condition was not provided.
40-year-old Tavori Fletcher died as a result of his injuries at Sentara Albemarle Medical Center.
The suspects fled the scene prior to the police getting there, a spokesperson for the police department said.
On Monday, the police department said Lorenzo Santiago Cedeno Jr., 20, was charged with murder and attempted first-degree murder. Police considered him armed and dangerous; however, he was arrested Tuesday with the help of the Chesapeake Police Department, according to ECPD.
Cedeno was processed and transported to Chesapeake City Jail with no bond.
His first court appearance will be on May 17.
They urge anyone with information about this incident to contact the department at (252) 335-4321 or the Crime Line at (252) 335-5555.
