LENOIR, N.C. — Two people are dead and an infant is recovering in a Charlotte hospital after a triple shooting in Lenoir Monday afternoon, police said.
According to the Lenoir Police Department, officers were called to a home on Willow Street Northwest, near the Caldwell County Courthouse, around noon, for a reported shooting. When officers arrived, they found two adults — a man and woman — and a baby who had been shot. All three were rushed to UNC Healthcare with serious injuries.
Lenoir police said Anthony Maurice Stevenson, 21, and 21-year-old Shantel Harper died at the hospital. The infant was airlifted to Atrium Health's Carolinas Medical Center and is listed in stable condition.
Investigators said Tuesday that Stevenson and Harper, the parents of the child, got into an argument when Stevenson pulled out a gun and shot Harper, the baby and then himself.
Detectives told WCNC Charlotte they are not looking for any other suspects involved in this shooting. However, they did mention the case is still "active and ongoing" and are encouraging people with information involving this incident to call 828-757-2104.
