DUNN, N.C. — A death investigation was underway Tuesday after three people were found dead at a Dunn motel.
The incident happened at a motel in the 700 block of East Cumberland Street.
One man and two women were found dead inside the motel room. Officials said a 1-year-old child was found alive in the room.
"Her sister called me and wanted me to go down there and check on her," said motel owner Margie Godwin. "That's when we went in and found her dead. They were all dead."
