Suspect Indicted in NCCU Student's Death

Site Search

Raleigh, N.C. — A grand jury indicted a Durham pastor Tuesday for the murder of a North Carolina Central University student earlier this year.

Robert Reaves is charged with killing Latrese Curtis, 21.

Curtis' body was discovered along Interstate 540 in Wake County late January. An autopsy showed she had been stabbed.

Reaves has been in trouble with the law before. He was accused of sex crimes in South Carolina and New York.

Wow! I thought this guy was behind bars already!! I literally forgot about this case. I agree with others who see the difference in the UNC, Duke and NCCU cases. The media does an unfair coverage when it comes to cases like this.

I am so glad they finally put some information out about this case. This young woman has been on my mind and in my heart ever since the story was first reported. I'm glad they found the man who did it and let's pray he is convicted and put in prison where he belongs.

I am so sick of Men hiding behind the cloth and to think after he murdered someone, he went to the church to clean up. My heart goes out to his family for having to deal with his craziness.

Holymoly, they made an arrest within days of finding her. The problem is that they had to wait for the grand jury to meet in order to make the indictment.
