GASTON COUNTY, N.C. — Gaston County police say they've now arrested the third suspect in a double homicide that unfolded late in February.
The first person GCPD charged was 29-year-old Jordan Cameron Moses of Dallas, North Carolina. His charges include two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempt first-degree murder.
He had previously been on the run but was taken into custody on March 17. Moses is being held at the Gaston County Jail with no bond, pending his first appearance in court.
The double homicide happened on Feb. 22 around 7:30 p.m. on Woodleaf Drive. GCPD previously reported 50-year-old Christopher Lee Brooks was found dead on the scene, and two other people were wounded. The next day, 54-year-old Matthew Christopher Allison succumbed to his injuries at a hospital.
Charlie James Stiles, 24, of Gastonia was the second person to face charges in the double homicide, which include two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted first-degree murder.
GCPD said on March 8 they had charged and arrested 19-year-old Darrick Lamer Johnson of Gastonia with assistance from the U.S. Marshals. Johnson is charged with two counts of first-degree murder and three counts of first-degree attempted murder. He's now in the county jail awaiting his first court appearance.
Stiles was the first of the three suspects to be taken into custody on March 1, 2021. Meanwhile, Johnson was the third person charged, but the second person in custody. With Moses now in custody, all three suspects identified publicly by police have been arrested.
GCPD encourages anyone with information about the case to contact Detective M. Rheinson at 704-866-3320 or Crimestoppers at 704-861-8000.
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 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.
