LUMBER BRIDGE — A Cumberland County man wanted for the Sept. 3 murder of 21-year-old man from Lumberton was arrested Tuesday at a Lumber Bridge home, authorities say.
Rahsheed Williams, 25, of Lawrence Avenue in Fayetteville, was arrested at 9:15 a.m. at a home on Quick Road, according to Brandon Taylor of the U.S. Marshal’s Violent Fugitive Task Force. Williams was found hiding in a back bedroom, Taylor said.
Williams is charged with first-degree murder, armed robbery and conspiracy in the shooting death of Garrett Alford, of the 100 block of Glenwood Avenue. Alford was found shot to death on Sept. 3 at about 7 a.m. behind a Fayetteville home, according to a statement from the Fayetteville Police Department. There was no information on what led to his murder.
A Lumberton man, 25-year-old Steven Moore, of the 100 block of Maverick Road, was arrested Sept. 5 and also faces charges of first-degree murder, armed robbery and conspiracy. He is being held at the Robeson County jail without bond.
Why is is you guys didn't have anything to say about this one? As far as I'm concerned a crime is a crime, be it committed by white, black, Indian, or any other race. I agree with you and Percy about 99% of the time with the comments you guys make because the crime and drugs in Robeson county make this place a dreary place to live but nothing will change if people constantly want to point at one race over another.
Also as sad as this point is, it needs to be said. Perception is reality. Now follow me here, when 70% of blacks end up in jail, the perception is all blacks are bad. I'm sorry, I know they're not, BUT 7 out of 10 will end up in prison at some time or another. Don't need to get angry with me, I'm just pointing out what is there, not creating it, just pointing to it. Like me saying it was 79 degrees yesterday, I didn't make the temperature, I just pointed it out.
Eric Holder, Obama's Atorney General said "we are a nation of cowards discussing race"... Well I'm not, but the reason noone will discuss race topics is because they will be called a racist as soon as the discussion starts. But I'm not afraid of the truth, no matter what color.
