The Durham County Sheriff’s Office has charged a man who fatally shot his adult son last month with murder.
ON March 17 a deputy responding to the shooting on Red Mountain Road in the Rougemont community in northern Durham County found 39-year-old Matthew Lockamy fatally shot outside his home, The News & Observer reported.
Witnesses told investigators there had been a “physical altercation” between Lockamy and his father, Kenneth Wendell Lockamy. Emergency medical workers could not revive Matthew Lockamy, and his father was taken to the hospital with injuries from the fight.
Kenneth Lockamy was charged Monday and is being held at the Durham County jail on $500,000 bail, according to jail records.
