Elvin Freeman Morrison, 21, turned himself in around 9 p.m., police said. He was placed in the Cumberland County jail under a $200,000 bond.
Including Morrison, the people charged are:
- Adam Bradley Scott Golden, 23, who is currently in prison on unrelated charges
- Ioan Deja Shameka Thomas, 19, of Fayetteville
- Yasheika Zikyra West, 18, of Durham
"I saw him yesterday evening at about 10. When I came home, his car was gone and I haven't seen him again," Pamela Blackshire said.
His girlfriend said he loved his family, especially his 1-year-old son. She said the baby changed their life.
"When the baby comes, it's like everything changes," said Nancy David. "The way his talks to me, the way he communicated. Everything."
Authorities said there is no security video form outside of the motel and are now asking for the public's help in locating a suspect.
"My son was quiet ... good person. He stayed to himself, he barely left the house, he worked, and that was it," Blackshire said.
