Three men were shot during an apparent home invasion incident early Wednesday morning northeast of Ronda, said Wilkes Sheriff Chris Shew.
Shew said the Wilkes Communications Center received a call at 1:26 a.m. Wednesday from a woman who said her husband had been shot at their home on 688 Little Elkin Church Road.
When sheriff’s department officers arrived at that address, he said, they found Robert Monroe Newman, 60, with a gunshot wound to the chest. Also there were Newman’s wife, Linda Newman, 59; and their son, Robert Luke Newman, 34, all of 688 Little Elkin Church Road. A woman who was a guest but not a relative of the Newmans also was there, said Shew.
The sheriff said investigating officers were told that a woman, later identified as Latesha Brower, 24, of 3725 Princeton Lake Parkway in Atlanta, Ga., came to the Newman residence a short time earlier that morning and said she needed water for a car.
Shew said that after Ms. Brower was told that she could get water from a hose attached to a spigot on the outside of the Newman house, she and two men forced their way into the house. He said the two men were later identified as Colin Smith, 18, of 117 South Holden Road in Greensboro and Don Delevicchio Thompson, 36, of Raleigh.
Shew said he was told that Robert Monroe Newman, holding a gun, came down a hallway in the house and an exchange of several rounds of gunfire followed.
He said that in addition to Robert Monroe Newman receiving a chest wound, Thompson was shot twice in the left thigh and Smith was shot in the left leg.
Shew said Thompson, Colin Smith, Ms. Brower and a fourth person, Charmaine Smith, 22, of the same address as Collen Smith, then went to Hugh Chatham Memorial Hospital in the same car, a Toyota Yaris, that they used to get to the Newman home. The sheriff said Charmaine Smith and Collen Smith are siblings.
Shew said Colin Smith was treated and released and Thompson was transported to Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem. He said Thompson was listed in stable but critical condition late Wednesday morning.
Newman also is at Baptist but no details on his condition were available from that hospital. Shew said he was told that Newman was expected to recover from his gunshot wound.
Shew said the Wilkes Sheriff's Department charged Ms. Brower, Thompson, Colin Smith and Charmaine Smith with one count each of first-degree burglary, robbery with a firearm and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury. All of them were in custody Wednesday afternoon except Thompson, who was still at Baptist.
On Thursday, Ms. Brower, Colin Smith and Charmaine Smith remained in jail with secured bonds of $250,000 each.
