FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — A Fayetteville man has been charged with murder in the shooting death of another man at a birthday party last month.

Officials arrested Jamese Herring, 21, who lived on Gillespie Street, on Oct. 17. He was initially facing charges of voluntary manslaughter after the shooting death of Darrion Tyler.
