Caleb Ryan Hunt, a 23-year-old male from Lumberton, North Carolina, was found dead on October 30, 2021, in Fairmont, NC. Caleb, along with Jonathan Lowery Jr., a 32-year-old male from Maxton, NC, was discovered at the scene of a shooting in the 900 block of Leesville Road. Caleb was found dead inside a vehicle, while Jonathan was found dead outside the vehicle.
Both men had sustained gunshot wounds.
The Fairmont Police Department, along with the Robeson County Sheriff's Office, launched an investigation into the double homicide. Initial reports indicated that the police responded to a call about a possible shooting around 7:30 p.m. on October 30, 2021. Upon arrival, they found the two men deceased at the scene.
In the months following the incident, the investigation led to the arrest of two suspects. Semaj Cortez Lin Bethea, a 19-year-old male, was charged with two counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon and one count of shooting into an occupied vehicle in connection to the double murders. He remains in jail awaiting trial. Later, in March 2024, Tarvarius Moore, also known as "TT," was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon, one count of discharging a weapon into an occupied property, and one count of felony conspiracy.
The arrests were the result of persistent efforts by the Fairmont Police Department and the Robeson County Sheriff's Office to bring justice to the victims and their families. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities continue to seek information from the public to aid in solving the case.
