4 Charged With Killing Woman During Home Invasion

Lenair Bene Omar Moses, 25; Jaquan Tryon Dumas, 19; Timothy Tyrone Horton, 26; and 20-year-old Brandon Michael Jones were charged with murder in the death of Charmeka Cheymeir Harris, 25, on Aug. 18, 2007.

The suspects were expected to be in court Friday afternoon.

Moses, was taken into custody Thursday by the Raleigh Police Department’s Fugitive Task Force. The arrest was made at the intersection of Poole Road and Lord Anson Drive.

Dumas was already being held in the Wake County Jail on unrelated charges. He has since been re-arrested for Harris' murder.

Federal authorities had custody of Horton and Jones and turned them over to a Wake County magistrate Thursday.

Investigators said masked gunmen stormed into an apartment at 4105 Spring Forest Road on Aug. 18. The gunmen shot Harris in the stomach, and she died of her wounds at WakeMed.

The gunmen also took money and jewelry from the apartment, which was occupied by 10 people, including five children, at the time.

“My mind went blank. I don’t remember nothing. I don’t remember nothing that happened that night,” Miller said.

Police said they believe the crime was not committed at random.

Dumas, Horton and Jones were arrested after a joint investigation by Raleigh police and the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina assisted.

Raleigh police elements included the Major Crimes Task Force, the Career Criminal Unit and the Gang Suppression Unit. Police said the investigation into Harris' killing was continuing.

“This is justice. This is justice and even more they get what they deserve,” Miller said.
