ROWAN COUNTY, N.C. — The Rowan County Sheriff's Office is searching for a man they say took aim at another man on Friday, leaving the victim critically wounded.
Deputies say they went to a home on Carter Loop Road in Rockwell near Stolz Road just before 6 p.m. on Dec. 17. The 32-year-old victim was taken to a hospital for treatment of a shotgun wound.
During the overnight hours, deputies say they determined John Pierre Jandrew of Mount Pleasant was their suspect. Jandrew is currently out on bond for similar charges he again faces, stemming from another case RCSO investigated in July 2021. Detectives have now obtained warrants to arrest Jandrew for assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, inflicting serious injury.
However, Jandrew is not yet in custody, and deputies warn he should be treated as armed and dangerous. Anyone with more information about the shooting itself or knows where he is should call 911, or reach out to one of the two RCSO members:
- Det. Travis Allen at 704-216-8715
- Sgt. David Earnhardt at 704-216-8741
Note: WCNC instituted a new policy in March 2021 regarding the broadcast or posting of mugshots.
WCNC will only air or post a mugshot if the person has been formally charged with a crime and in a few other cases. The exceptions include: If it appears the person could be a danger to themselves or others or if they are wanted by authorities; to differentiate between people with a common name; if the photos could encourage more victims to come forward. The news-editorial leadership may also decide to use a mugshot based on the severity of the crime(s) committed and/or the level of public interest in the crime and ensuing criminal proceedings.
Because Jandrew is deemed armed and dangerous, still on the run, and accused of trying to kill another person, his mugshot is shown here.
