Terrell Prince James, a 28-year-old African American male, tragically lost his life on October 29, 2017, in Goldsboro, North Carolina. On that fateful night, officers from the Goldsboro Police Department responded to a call reporting shots fired in the area of 147 Dupont Circle. Upon arrival, they discovered Terrell James lying in the front yard of 149 Dupont Circle, suffering from an apparent gunshot wound.
Emergency Medical Services were promptly called to the scene, but unfortunately, Terrell James was pronounced dead upon their arrival. His death was immediately classified as a homicide, prompting a thorough investigation by the Goldsboro Police Department.
The investigation into Terrell James' murder led to the identification and arrest of several suspects. Tyquail D. Price and Islam S. Dove, both residents of Goldsboro, were arrested and charged with first-degree murder, discharging a weapon into occupied property, injury to personal property, and injury to real property. Both suspects were already in custody at the Wayne County Detention Center on unrelated charges when they were served with the warrants for Terrell James' murder. They were held without bond for the murder charge, with an additional secured bond of $500,000 each for the associated charges. Their first court appearances were scheduled for February 12, 2018, in Wayne County District Court.
In addition to Price and Dove, another individual, Chantel M. Davis-Taylor, was also implicated in the case. Davis-Taylor, a 19-year-old resident of Goldsboro, was charged with accessory after the fact to a felony. She was already in custody at the Wayne County Detention Center on unrelated charges when she was served with the warrant for her involvement in the case. Davis-Taylor received a secured bond of $150,000 and had her first court appearance scheduled for February 12, 2018, in Wayne County District Court.
The case of Terrell James' murder remains under investigation, with the Goldsboro Police Department continuing to pursue leads and gather evidence. The arrests of Price, Dove, and Davis-Taylor mark significant developments in the case, but the investigation is ongoing, and additional arrests are anticipated as authorities work to bring justice for Terrell James and his family.
