closeJohnston County sheriff's deputies have charged another man with murder in a shooting at a suspected dog-fighting venue last month.
Danny Ray Edwards was shot and killed Feb. 24 at a farm outside Kenly. Tristan Hinson, the renter of the home on J. Howell Road, is now charged with first-degree murder in Edwards' death.
Deputies had already charged Keon K. Rowe with Edwards' death. Rowe, who was staying with Hinson at the time of the shooting, was arrested by U.S. marshals in Virginia last week.
