    Jordan Meade Sentenced to LWOP in 2020 NC Murders of Geraldine A. Hawks, Emmitt Jordan Hawks Sr. and Jackqueline Meade





    Police: Man who shot, killed mother and grandparents charged

    AP

    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.

    Death penalty taken off table as Onslow County man admits to killing mom & grandparents

    By WITN Web Team

    ONSLOW COUNTY, N.C. (WITN) - The death penalty was taken off the table in a plea deal for a man accused of killing three family members more than three years ago.

    Jordan Meade pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree murder, larceny of a motor vehicle, and larceny of a firearm.

    The 24-year-old man was accused of killing his mother and grandparents on March 26, 2020.

    Deputies said the grandparents, Geraldine and Emmitt Hawks, were found dead in a house on Birchwood Lane, while Meade’s mother, Jackqueline, was discovered shot in the home next door.

    The man was arrested in Burlington after police found his abandoned vehicle.

    Prosecutors agreed to remove the death penalty in the case if Meade pleaded guilty. Under the plea deal, the man will be given three consecutive sentences of life without parole.

    The judge accepted the plea deal and gave Meade three consecutive life terms without parole, plus another year to 2 1/2 years on the other charges.
