Murder suspect sought in man's slaying

One man was killed and another was injured after an argument in Statesville ended in gunfire early Saturday morning, and police are looking for a Charlotte man who is charged with murder.

Torrey Odell Stockton, 32, whose last known address was 1408 Camp Green St. in Charlotte, remained at large Saturday night. Police say he should be considered armed and dangerous.

Officers believe Stockton, his sister and another man each had a part in the fatal shooting. Tshilanda Rachelle Stockton, 32, and 23-year-old Darian Price are in the Iredell County Jail, charged with both murder and attempted murder, according to a news release. They were given no bond. They are accused of killing 36-year-old Robert Erskine Young, of Statesville. He was found with gunshot wounds to his chest in the 900 block of Fourth Street in downtown Statesville. He died at Iredell Memorial Hospital a short time later.

Another man, Robert Lee Ferguson, a 28-year-old who also lives in Statesville, was shot in the leg, but fled to 115 Mill St., where officers found him. He was treated at the same hospital, then released. Anyone with information should call Statesville police at 704-878-3406 or Crime Stoppers at 704-437-COPS. -- Cleve R. Wootson Jr.
