One of the suspects wanted in last Friday’s murder of a Conway man was captured in Murfreesboro just minutes ago, the Roanoke-Chowan News-Herald of Ahoskie reports.

The paper learned Rumeal Daye, 24, of Conway, was found hiding in the attic of a residence on Boyette Street shortly after 8 p.m.

Hertford County Sheriff Juan Vaughan told the News-Herald that he had received information early this evening Daye was believed to be in the Murfreesboro residence and that home was quickly surrounded by law enforcement officers from several agencies.

The Roanoke-Chowan News-Herald was also informed that the other wanted fugitive in the Conway murder – Akeem Robinson, 24 – has been captured. That report has yet to be confirmed.

Shuntavius Vaughan of Conway was shot and killed at 305 Fields Drive at the Conway Village Apartments last Friday morning. The Conway Police Department, the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation and the Northampton County Sheriff’s Office have been investigating the crime.

One of the original four suspects, 25-year-old Chenail Jordan, Jr., was arrested on Friday; while another Brandon Joyner, 24, of Conway, turned himself in around 12:30 p.m. Saturday. Both are currently being held in the Northampton County Jail without the opportunity of bond.

Jordan and Joyner both stand charged with first degree murder, attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, shooting into an occupied dwelling, and possession of firearm by a felon. Daye and Robinson face those same charges.
