ROCKINGHAM — Three individuals have been charged and one is still wanted in connection to a shooting earlier this month.
According to the Rockingham Police Department, officers responded to a reported shooting at the Village Green Apartments on Beaverwood Court just before 3 a.m. on Nov. 1.
Upon arrival, officers reportedly found several witnesses and victims, as well as evidence connected to the case — including more than 35 spent shell casings, according to investigators.
Following an “exhaustive investigation,” police reportedly determined that the incident stemmed from an argument and fight earlier at Lavish MVP Sports Bar and Lounge.
Investigators allege that Jamarion Mannix Marques Bryant, Blanquinton Tirese Terry and Damarion Khalil Graham — as well as others who have not yet been named — went to the apartments where they held a female victim at gunpoint while Amya Lilyan Terry assaulted the victim.
Police say a witness pulled a firearm to defend the victim and a gunfight ensued. Bryant was reportedly shot in the lower part of his leg and suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
According to investigators and arrest warrants, shots were also fired into an occupied home on Beaverwood Court, two occupied homes on Cypress Street and an occupied vehicle at the apartment complex.
Blanquinton Terry, 27, of Rockingham, and Bryant, 21, of Hamlet, were arrested Nov. 4 and charged with: second-degree kidnapping; two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill; four counts of discharging a weapon into an occupied property; and felony conspiracy.
Amya Terry, 23, of Rockingham, was arrested the following day and faces the same charges.
All three are being held without bond in the Richmond County Jail.
Court records show Blanquinton Terry filed a motion for a bond reduction on Nov. 12. His next court date is scheduled for Nov. 19. Records show the next appearances for Amya Terry and Bryant are Dec. 10.
Police are still attempting to locate Graham, of Laurel Hill. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is encouraged to contact the Rockingham Police Department at 910-895-2468 or Richmond County Crime Stoppers at 910-997-5454. Anonymous tips can also be made through the P3 app.
Court records show Bryant and Blanquinton Terry have previously been charged before, but not convicted. Graham and Bryant both have pending traffic citations.
All defendants facing criminal charges are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
