WILSON COUNTY, N.C. (WITN) – A murder-suicide investigation is spanning two counties.

The Wilson County Sheriff’s Office says deputies and Sharpsburg police got a call around 5 this morning to 141 Weaver Circle for multiple gunshot victims.

When they arrived, they found a male victim lying on the ground who had been shot. A female was also found with a gunshot wound. Both were taken to ECU Health Medical Center and are in surgery, deputies say.

Investigators say they learned that the shooter was Daquan Jones, 32, of Rocky Mount. They say that Jones left the scene on Weaver Circle with a 6-year-old who had been shot and dropped them off at a home inside of Nash County. That child is also undergoing surgery, deputies say.

Deputies say Jones was traced to a home on Jamie Road in Nash County. When Nash County deputies made it inside the home, they say they found Jones dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Another victim was found dead inside the car that Jones was driving when he left the scene at Weaver Circle, deputies say.

The sheriff’s office says this is an ongoing investigation.
