Warrants are on file for two men allegedly involved in a drive-by shooting which occurred Sunday morning around 1 a.m. in the Glenview community off Fishing Creek Road.

Halifax County Sheriff Wes Tripp declined comment on whether this shooting was related to the murders of four people who played cards at a residence on August 20 in the vicinity of the drive-by.

No one was injured in the drive-by shooting, which the sheriff said in a statement was apparently related to the theft of guns taken in a breaking and entering which occurred earlier in the Old Hotel Road area off White Oak Road.

Warrants in the Sunday shooting have been obtained for Jerrod Ivey Brinson, 28, and Charles Leon Brinson Jr., 30, both of Enfield. They have not been located. They tend to frequent the Enfield area.

Tripp said Rashad Monte Carter, 27, a resident of the house where the drive-by occurred, was arrested in the breaking and entering of the Old Hotel Road residence. He was arrested today.

The men are acquainted, Tripp said.

All three men have previous records and Jerrod Brinson has a manslaughter conviction dating back to 2008 in Wake County, state Department of Public Safety records show.

Charles Brinson Jr. has pending court dates in Halifax County for cyberstalking, chop shop activity and three counts related to breaking and entering, state court records show.

While Tripp stressed he would not comment on whether the three men could be tied to the murders of James and Janice Harris and James and Peggy Whitley, he did confirm the FBI has agreed to assist in the investigation.

The murders were discovered at the Harris residence August 21 after a family member went to the residence for a welfare check.

The only new information to emerge in the case came from a proclamation by Governor Roy Cooper, who approved a $20,000 reward last week.

That reward added to funds already pledged by friends and family members.

The proclamation says the four were shot through a glass door while they sat playing cards at the dining room table. All the victims died at the table after they were shot multiple times in an apparent home invasion, the proclamation says.
