Woman, 19, charged as accessory in killing outside Raleigh bar

A 19-year-old woman is being held without bail on charges that she was an accessory before the fact in the Aug. 13 killing of a woman and wounding of a man outside a bar on New Hope Church Road.

Police arrested Josselyn Carolina Pineda at a mobile home park at 5109 Millhaven Drive, off New Bern Road, on Friday afternoon.

Arrest warrants charge her with being involved in the homicide of Diana Medelin Ibarra-Luna and the wounding of Felipe Nerve Gonzalez Arrellano, both 22, at the Mambo 69 Sports bar at 2221 New Hope Church Road.

The warrants allege that Pineda “assisted” Jonathan Roman in both attacks, but they do not disclose what help police believe she gave him.

Later that day, police charged Roman, 19, of Lynn Garden Court in Raleigh with murder and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill.

Ibarra-Luna and Arrellano were in the parking lot of the bar when police arrived after getting a call about 4:30 a.m. about a shooting.

They were taken to WakeMed Hospital in Raleigh, where she was pronounced dead. Arrellano was treated for his wounds and released.

In denying bail for Pineda on the charge involving Ibarra-Luna, a magistrate said the details of the case qualified her to be charged as the principal felon in the death.

Bail on the accessory charge involving Arrellano was set at $50,000.

In addition, U.S. immigration authorities filed a request for Pineda, whose last name they listed as Amaya-Pineda and whose first name they spelled Joselyn, to be held for 48 hours for them to take her into custody if Wake County officials were going to release her.

The request says Pineda was born in El Salvador.
