Tragedy struck Statesville over the weekend with two separate fatal shootings, as reported by local authorities. Early Saturday morning, D’Angelo Barker, 25, was found fatally wounded on East Allison Street, the Statesville Police Department confirmed through statements acquired by WBTV.
Despite prompt medical assistance and life-saving attempts by the officers and Iredell County EMS, Barker succumbed to a gunshot wound to the chest at the scene, this detail was documented by WCNC. Later the same day, a second shooting occurred near Abernathy Ball Field, taking the life of Timmy Jaurice Moore, 33, who sustained multiple gunshot injuries; these events were also noted by the Statesville Police Department in a news release detailed by the Iredell Free News.
As the investigation presses on, an arrest warrant has been issued for Austin Ty’Kim “Kimby” Morrison in connection with Moore's death, while the search for additional information on Barker's passing is actively sought by law enforcement; hence, anyone with potential insights is urged to get in touch with the Statesville Police Department at 704-878-3406.
Law enforcement does not suspect a link between the two incidents, offering some solace amidst the chaos, yet both families grieve and a community searches for answers and the article from Iredell Free News makes it clear, stating, "At this time, investigators have found no credible evidence connecting this case to the earlier homicide on East Allison Street."
