A fourth Warren County man wanted on charges in connection with a fatal shooting was arrested today, according to a statement from the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation.

Deputies from the Warren County Sheriff’s Office conducted a traffic stop around 3 this morning near Baltimore Road in Warrenton.

Darren Antoine Alston, 22, of Warrenton, was a passenger in the vehicle and arrested without trouble.

Alston was charged with one count of first-degree murder, one count of assault with a deadly weapon, five counts of attempted first-degree murder, and two counts of discharging a weapon into an occupied vehicle.

Alston was presented to a magistrate before being booked into the Warren County jail without bond.

Alston is the fourth man arrested and charged with shooting into two vehicles on August 9.

The shooting occurred just south of Connect 25, on U.S. Route 1 South, in Warrenton.

Montrell Randy Davis, 22, of Warrenton, Marquis Montelle Davis, 24, of Warrenton, and Kadeem Jaleel Grooms, 23, of Manson, were previously arrested for the same charges as Alston.

An associate of Grooms, Keshan Jamal Goode, 24, of Manson, was arrested and charged with accessory after-the-fact to murder.

This is a joint investigation being conducted by the Warren County Sheriff’s Office and the State Bureau of Investigation.

Although the investigation continues, no additional arrests are anticipated.
