A chaotic and wild scene played out in Eastern North Carolina, late last week. The Hoke County Sheriff's Office says 68 year old, Connie Linden was found dead at a home there, last Thursday.
The woman's 13 year old grandson identified only as "J.A." was immediately named as the suspect. Deputies from neighboring counties and NCBI agents the joined in the search for the boy. He was located in his grandmother's car in Lee County about 50 miles from the original scene.
The Lee County Sheriff's Office says as deputies and agents moved in on the vehicle, the boy fled towards the woods. He then picked up a 2X4 and charged at a Lee County Deputy, who then opened fire.
The boy died despite life saving efforts. State officials are reviewing the case including the deputy's use of deadly force.
