One of the men accused of shooting and killing a deputy sheriff was put away for life today.
In August, Lamont Byrd of Kinston pled guilty to federal charges of killing Deputy Warren “Sneak” Lewis. He then pleaded guilty in state court the next day for Lewis’ murder, as well as for the killing of Thomas Hinton.
Byrd was sentenced to life today in federal court in Raleigh.
State prosecutors said on June 2nd of 2011, four people decided they wanted to kill someone, and the D.A. said it just so happened that Hinton rode by on his bike at the time. The man was found shot, left in the street.
Within a few days, officers had warrants out for 18-year-old Lamont Byrd, his older brother Maretto Byrd, 16-year-old Kion Dail, and 17-year-old Devine Slade. Raekwon Bryant also was part of that group at age 14, according to prosecutors.
On June 9th, U.S. Marshals engaged in a standoff on West Lenoir Avenue in Kinston. Lewis was acting as a special deputy U.S.marshal when he was shot through a door.
In December of 2012, Raekwon Bryant took a plea deal: he plead guilty to conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, among other charges, and agreed to testify against the others in the case.
Byrd is awaiting sentencing in Lenoir County on the state murder charges.
