The Wake County Sheriff’s Office charged a 24-year-old with killing two men found dead inside an SUV in Knightdale four months ago.
Saquan Urkal Ward was charged with two counts of murder in the deaths of Zavier Daniels and Aleek Bryant, who were found shot to death inside a Dodge Nitro in the 1200 block of Topping Lane just after noon on Nov. 3.
Ward was in prison for a probation violation when he was charged with the killings, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
