Fayetteville police are searching for a man charged in connection with a fatal shooting earlier this month.
Officers responded to the 5600 block of Mesa Court at about 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 10 and found Joseph Gore, 53, suffering from a gunshot wound. Gore later died at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center as a result of his injuries.
Fayetteville police on Tuesday charged Antwon Carlisle, 30, of the 200 block of Lieber Street, with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
