海军陆战队退伍军人因北卡罗来纳酒吧致命枪击案被起诉

摘要

一名海军陆战队退伍军人在北卡罗来纳州南港一家酒吧发生枪击事件,导致三人死亡、五人受伤后,被控多项谋杀和谋杀未遂罪名。

当局已确认周六晚在北卡罗来纳州南港滨水酒吧American Fish Company枪击事件中遇难的三名人员身份。遇难者分别是64岁的南港居民乔伊·罗杰斯(Joy Rogers)、36岁的弗吉尼亚州夏洛茨维尔居民所罗门·班乔(Solomon Banjo)和56岁的俄亥俄州加利纳居民迈克尔·德宾(Michael Durbin)。另外五人受伤,目前仍在医院接受治疗。

嫌疑人是40岁的海军陆战队退伍军人奈杰尔·埃奇(Nigel Edge),据称他乘船接近酒吧,在户外甲板上享受现场音乐的顾客中开枪射击。大约30分钟后,埃奇在其居住的橡树岛一处码头试图将船只驶出水面时,被美国海岸警卫队逮捕。他被控三项一级谋杀罪、五项一级谋杀未遂罪以及五项持致命武器意图杀人攻击罪。埃奇目前无保释被拘押,预计于10月13日举行可能原因听证会。

埃奇于2003年至2009年服役于海军陆战队,因在伊拉克受伤获得紫心勋章。他与当地执法部门有法律纠纷历史,包括对镇政府和警察局提起诉讼。枪击动机仍在调查中。

受害者之一乔伊·罗杰斯一年前与丈夫莱尼·罗杰斯(Lennie Rogers)搬到南港,享受退休生活。其家人在声明中形容她是一个忠诚的妻子和慈爱的三子之母,称她“名副其实——她的精神在所到之处散发着欢乐、光明和善意。”定于10月4日星期六在南港滨水区举行祈祷守夜活动,以纪念罗杰斯及其他遇难者。

南港警察局长托德·科林(Todd Coring)形容此次袭击为“高度预谋”和“有针对性”。地区检察官乔恩·大卫(Jon David)表示,其办公室将审查此案是否适合寻求死刑判决。

American Fish Company已宣布因枪击事件将无限期关闭。
