According to Elizabeth City police, a juvenile was also killed. As of January 23, their name and age had not been released.
“Whatever my son did to anger that person, I know it wasn’t worth the rest of their life and I know for sure it wasn’t worth my son’s life and all the sorrow that comes with it," Fogle said.
Fogle doesn’t know why her son, Jamarey Johnson, was shot and killed. Audio between dispatchers and officers responding to the scene indicates at least one of the victims was shot in the head.
“This is a devastating time for the city of Elizabeth City," Elizabeth City Police Chief Eddie Graham said.
