Michael Vincent Boulding, a 29-year-old male, was tragically found dead in Eden, North Carolina, on October 6, 2017. Michael, affectionately known as "Cheeseburger," was discovered shot to death inside a mobile home on Friendly Road just after midnight. The Rockingham County Sheriff's Office responded to the scene and found Michael near the back entrance of the home. He had sustained fatal gunshot wounds.
Michael Boulding was a U.S. Army veteran who loved sports, fishing, and was an avid Carolina fan. He lived life to the fullest and was survived by his three children, Amelia Grace Boulding of Lakeland, FL, Kristy Rose Smith of Reidsville, and Bentley Boulding of Raleigh. His family and friends were left devastated by his untimely death.
The investigation into Michael Boulding's death led to the arrest of Shakaree Tyshon Lowe, an 18-year-old male, who was charged with first-degree murder. Lowe was arrested on October 11, 2017, and was held in the Rockingham County Detention Center without bond. The authorities urged anyone with information about the murder to come forward.
More than a year after the initial arrest, a second suspect, Brent Deanglo Hairston, a 27-year-old male, was also charged with first-degree murder in connection with Michael Boulding's death. Hairston was already serving time in federal prison on unrelated charges when he was charged with the murder. The motive behind the shooting remains unclear, and the investigation is ongoing.
Michael Boulding's death has left a lasting impact on his community, and his family continues to seek justice for their beloved son, father, and friend. The case highlights the importance of community involvement in solving crimes and bringing perpetrators to justice.
