A second person has been arrested in a November murder which occurred in the 100 block of Monroe Street.
The arrest of Larry Williams on a charge of first-degree murder Tuesday came after additional information was received and investigated, Roanoke Rapids police Lieutenant Charles Vaught said.
Keon Manning was arrested four days after the November 12 murder of 45-year-old John Paul Harrison Jr.
Captain Bobby Martin said investigators have an idea on motive but declined to disclose details. He declined to disclose the name of the shooter.
In a statement Vaught said after Harrison was shot multiple times he returned to his vehicle and fled the scene.
He traveled several blocks north on Monroe Street before striking another vehicle.
Williams was jailed without opportunity for bond and has a September 6 court date.
Vaught said investigators believe there may be additional witnesses in the case and encourages them to come forward by calling him at 252-533-2819 or Crimestoppers at 252-583-4444.
