The man accused of murder in connection with a Nov. 5 shooting in Raleigh allegedly got into a fight with the victim before shooting him at a bus stop, according to 911 calls obtained by The News & Observer.
The suspect, Antwan Quintavious Sanders, 34, is accused of killing Chase Ferguson, 34, on Nov. 5 at the 2800 block of East Millbrook Road. He is being held without bond at the Wake County Detention Center.
The shooting occurred at a bus stop in front of Sean’s Shack off East Millbrook Road, according to a 911 call from the GoRaleigh office. The two men got into a fight after they got off the bus, then one man pulled out a gun and shot the other.
The caller told the dispatcher he saw a video of the shooting, from which authorities should be able to identify the suspect. Another caller at the scene told dispatchers they were standing over Ferguson’s body and saw a knife in his hand, though it is unclear if or when he pulled the knife out.
The bus driver drove away from the scene for safety reasons, according to the computer dispatch record. He stopped on New Hope Road — roughly half a mile from the scene — to answer authorities’ questions.
Sanders was also charged with felony larceny after breaking and entering and second-degree burglary in connection with the theft of $4,300 worth of items from a Raleigh apartment. The warrant for Sanders’ arrest accuses him of stealing several firearms, including a Glock and a Kel Tec rifle.
