ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. — An intense five-alarm fire at a QVC distribution center in Rocky Mount destroyed most of the building on Saturday morning, dealing a devastating blow to a significant employer in the area.
While QVC officials initially said that everyone inside the center made it out of the building safe, the Edgecombe County Manager confirmed during a press conference on Sunday that a body was found inside the center after the fire.
The sheriff's office is investigating a report of a one employee who is missing: 21-year-old Kevon Ricks.
Family members say they have not seen Ricks since the fire.
