Halifax County Sheriff Wes Tripp said in a statement this evening Claude Luther Celestine was apprehended Tuesday with assistance of the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office in Decatur, Georgia, and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation Fugitive and Missing Persons Task Force.

Tripp said this evening Celestine has waived extradition and he and his staff are in the planning stages of returning him back to Halifax County.

Tripp said to his knowledge Celestine committed no crimes while on the lam.

The sheriff was pleased with the work of DeKalb County authorities and the SBI. “We greatly appreciate the unity and cooperation we have with other law enforcement agencies across the country.”

{gallery}72518hcso{/gallery}

Tripp said in the statement Donovan Gonsalves remains at large.

Celestine, along with Gonsalves, was wanted in the murder of Daquinn Blount, a former Roanoke Rapids resident. The murder occurred early on the morning of July 16 inside the residence of Marc Anthony Solomon-Cartagena.

Solomon-Cartagena posted bond for Celestine on his obstruction charge the day of the murder. The murder charges had not been filed at the time Solomon-Cartagena had posted the cash bond and a bondsman posted for the drug charges lodged against Celestine the morning of the murder.

Tripp said investigators have reason to believe Gonsalves, who was also shot the morning of the murder, is also in Georgia. He is considered to be armed and “extremely dangerous,” the sheriff said in the statement.

The sheriff’s office said last week the case is believed to drug-related. There is, however, no evidence to suggest Blount, Celestine or Gonsalves were at Grant Drive to rob Solomon-Cartagena. The four men were acquainted with each other.

Tripp confirmed last week evidence shows there was a dispute between the two men who were shot — Blount and Gonsalves.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Gonsalves or has further information in this case is encouraged to contact the sheriff's office at  252-583-8201 or Crimestoppers at 252- 583-4444.

Captain Bobby Martin of the Roanoke Rapids Police Department said Taurus Martin was charged with possession of cocaine following a two-month investigation.

He was jailed on $5,000 secured bond and has a September 5 court date.

Captain Martin said 3 grams of cocaine was seized from the residence. There was 1.5 grams of marijuana taken from a car at the residence along with two handguns and three clips.

In a statement Captain Martin said narcotics detectives J. Hardy and C. Babb conducted the investigation after receiving numerous complaints about the amount of traffic to and from the area.

Hardy said during execution of the search warrant Wednesday there had been complaints from a church across the street of gunfire and drug transactions occurring in the church parking lot.

Execution of the search warrant was done with the assistance criminal investigators and members of the patrol division’s A squad.

“Detectives Hardy and Babb took an aggressive approach and made it a daily objective to work this area and gather the intel needed,” Captain Martin said in the statement. “The narcotics unit conducted several community policing foot patrols in the area that assisted them with identifying several suspects that frequent the area.”

During the days leading up to the search warrant service, Captain Martin said the detectives seized 9 grams of fentanyl and 4.5 grams of heroin, a statement which backed what Hardy said Wednesday was the collection of more than $1,000 worth of drugs lying on the ground.

Said Captain Martin in the statement, the detectives “were able to speak with several neighbors in the area who are tired of the illegal activity going on” at a residence which was found to be a central hangout “for everyone” and “on multiple occasions detectives Babb and Hardy witnessed numerous subjects hanging out there who are known for selling drugs and have previous charges (or) convictions for selling illegal narcotics.”

Captain Martin said $3,494 was also seized from the residence.

Anyone with information on any illegal activity is encouraged to contact the police department at 252-533-2810 or Crimestoppers at 252-583-4444.
