JACKSONVILLE, N.C. (AP) — A North Carolina man who killed his mother and grandparents was arrested at a grocery store, authorities said.
Jordan Tyshon Meade was booked into a detention center Saturday on charges including three counts of murder.
According to a news release from the Onslow County Sheriff’s office, the investigation into the case began Friday morning when the office got a call about an abandoned SUV that appeared stolen.
Deputies traced the car back to the home of Meade’s grandparents in Jacksonville, 178 miles (286 kilometers) southeast of where the car was found.
Upon their arrival at the home, they found Meade’s grandparents, Geraldine A. Hawks, 60, and Emmitt Jordan Hawks Sr., 71, both dead from a gunshot wound. Meade’s mother, Jackqueline Meade, 48, was also found fatally shot in the house next door.
Deputies launched a statewide search for Meade, 20, before his arrest at a grocery store Saturday morning.
He is being held on no bond for the three murder charges, and on a $20,000 bond for additional charges.
The investigation into the case was ongoing.
