Suspect in Hoke slaying also accused of shooting up Robeson neighborhood

James Franklin Quick, 26, remains in the Hoke County jail without bond on charges of first-degree murder and three counts of attempted murder.

Richard Locklear, 26, was killed in the shooting. His girlfriend and another man in the truck were wounded, while Locklear's 2-year-old daughter escaped unharmed.

Late Saturday, residents of Middle Street in Red Springs say, Quick opened fire in their neighborhood, forcing people to dive for cover.

"He just kept shooting – dat, dat, dat, dat, dat, dat, dat, dat, dat, dat – and didn't stop until the gun [went] click, click, click," said Jerrill Galbreath.

Galbreath said Quick has a history of terrorizing residents in Red Springs, noting that he shot at his vehicle a couple of weeks ago.

On Saturday night, Galbreath said, Quick didn't miss the car, which now is pocked with bullet holes and has a shattered back window.

"I was standing right here by my car," he said. "I fell down on the ground right there, and he just kept shooting."

Some shots went through a house, and others broke windows. Galbreath said his leg was grazed by one bullet. His wife was also grazed by a bullet.

Red Springs Police Chief Ronnie Patterson said he's arrested Quick several times on various charges.

"For what he's charged with and the residents that he shot up prior to the murder that he committed, I sure hope he gets what's due for him," Patterson said.
