Garon Nathaniel Killian, of Lenoir, was being held in jail
without bond, the Catawba County Sheriff's Office said in a
statement. Online records did not show booking or lawyer
information for Killian and the county court clerk's office's
phone did not accept voicemails Tuesday evening.
Authorities executed search warrants on Tuesday as part of the
investigation into the shooting, which left some people with
gunshot wounds and others with injuries from fleeing the
gunfire. Additional people could be arrested, the sheriff's
office said.
The shooting took place early Sunday in a usually quiet
residential neighborhood in southwest Catawba County, about 7
miles (11 kilometers) south of the city of Hickory. Authorities
said at least 80 shots were fired beginning at about 12:45 a.m.
People reported running, ducking for cover and scrambling to
their cars for safety.
The crime scene spanned several properties along a neighborhood
road, covering about 2 acres (0.8 hectares), and included
outdoor and indoor areas, Sheriff’s office Maj. Aaron Turk said
Sunday.
A 58-year-old man, Shawn Patrick Hood, of Lenoir, was killed. He
was the oldest of the victims, who ranged in age from as young
as 16, the sheriff's office said. The agency said it was asking
for people who attended the party to contact the office.
