HENDERSON â A shooting on Monday left a man dead and Vance County sheriffâs deputies looking for a male juvenile they consider both âa person of interestâ in the case and someone whoâs armed and dangerous.
The incident happened in rural Vance County, in a small neighborhood on Cousins Lane off Fred Royster Road northwest of Henderson.
Deputies responding to a call found two women there along with the victim, 21-year-old Demonte Southerland.
Southerland was on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds. Sheriff Curtis Brame said he was later pronounced dead at Maria Parham Health.
Investigations have obtained a juvenile petition authorizing the arrest of the youth wanted in the case. But as of late Tuesday afternoon he remained at large.
