BROOME COUNTY, N.Y. โ A second suspect has been arrested in connection to a double homicide in Mount Holly back on Dec. 15, 2023.
Mount Holly police arrested Zabreon Isaiah Wallace, 18, in Fairmont, North Carolina. He faces one count of first-degree murder and two counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon.
Broome County Sheriff's Office deputies in New York already took a 17-year-old into custody a couple weeks after the crime happened. In a Facebook post, the sheriff's office said they acted on information gathered by the U.S. Marshal and a tip that led them to a house in town.
After a judge signed a search warrant, law enforcement moved in to make the arrest. The sheriff's office said the teen was taken into custody without incident.
Union, New York, is nearly 700 miles away from Mount Holly, North Carolina, where the crime was committed.
While the Brome County Sheriff's Office post did not directly link the teen's arrest to a specific incident, it did indicate the double homicide happened earlier in December. There was only one double homicide investigation in Mount Holly in December.. Two 19-year-olds from Concord were named as the victims.
The Mount Holly Police Department confirmed on Dec. 30, 2023, the 17-year-old suspect was indeed charged with the double homicide earlier in the month. Chief Brian Reagan continued to offer support for the victims' loved ones in a statement:
We hold the memories of Jaylan Marray Jackson and Jayden Dae'shun Munson close to our hearts, and our thoughts remain with their families. As we continue our pursuit of justice, we are very thankful for the unwavering support, understanding, and cooperation from our community.
Anyone with information about the case is urged to call Mount Holly Police at 704-827-4343 or reach out anonymously to Gaston County Crime Stoppers at 704-861-8000.
