The Halifax County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate a morning shooting in which Antonio Jerod Mills, 29, was murdered. Two other people in the Ward Drive mobile home off Rhea Smith Road were shot.

Major Bruce Temple said the call of shots fired came in shortly after midnight.

As deputies responded an additional 911 call came through that said witnesses were involved in a chase with the suspect vehicle, which was last seen around the Highway 48 and Highway 158 area of Roanoke Rapids.

Investigators learned two men entered the home of Mills and a struggle ensued. The struggle ended after one of the suspects repeatedly shot Mills. Temple declined to discuss what kind of weapon was used and declined to name the two suspects who were also shot.

There was no physical description immediately available of the suspects and Temple declined further comment on the case.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call the sheriff’s office at 252-583-1991 or Crimestoppers at 252-583-4444.
