NC pastor shot, killed outside his home days after his ordination

Police have not been able to find the people who shot Booth and are asking the community for help. Officers canvassed Booth's neighborhood on Friday morning, handing out fliers and talking with neighbors.

Booth had been ordained as a pastor just days before his death by Bishop Kerry Thomas.

"The streets were Robert's pulpit," Thomas said. "Just the very fabric of who he was, outside of him being a pastor, outside of him being clergy, he was just a good human being."

Thomas said Booth could strike up a conversation with anyone, no matter their background. Thomas believes that Booth might have been talking with people about God when he was shot.

"He instantaneously had just this gift to know a stranger," Thomas said.

The church is organizing a memorial for Booth on Sunday afternoon.
