GASTONIA, N.C. (AP) - The two suspects in the shooting death of
a sheriff's detective and former interim police chief of Moss Point
have been denied bond at their first appearances in a North
Carolina court.
Authorities say 49-year-old Frederick Gaston III was shot in the
chest and killed outside a Gastonia, North Carolina, motel just
before midnight Saturday during an apparent attempted robbery.
Two teenagers, 16-year-old Rakcam Jamall Fleming and 17-year-old
Tommy Dean Barnette are charged with first degree murder and are
being held in the county jail. Gastonia police say Barnette is also
charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Gaston, also a lieutenant colonel with the Air Force, had been a
sheriff's deputy for just two months when he left Saturday morning
on the way to Virginia to complete two weeks of reserves duty.
