In June, two brothers were found shot inside their Harnett County home.

The elder brother, identified as Joshua Tyler Holland, 22, died on the scene. His brother, 15-year-old Quinton Jones, was found shot in the head and rushed to the hospital.

Several weeks later, his family says Jones has been taken off life support. Jones died on June 29.

"They didn't see anything and woke up to this," he said.

Deputies arrived and found the two brothers – one dead and one severely injured.
