Man dies after allleged car theft attempt
Sanford man was shot and killed early Tuesday while allegedly trying to steal a car from a home outside Lillington, according to Harnett County sheriff's deputies.
Ashley Demetrius Gilliam, 21, of 805 Rose St., Sanford, died around 4:40 a.m. Tuesday after being shot outside 3415 U.S. 421, Lillington. According to the report, Gilliam was allegedly trying to steal a car from that address, which is the home of Gary Nolan and Raquel Patterson Jackson. Gilliam was approached by Gary Jackson and his father-in-law Derrick Allen Byrd, who lived next door.
An altercation started and shots were fired. Gilliam was shot and killed.
By Wednesday, deputies had not filed any charges, although they said the investigation was still ongoing.
Deputies have not said whether they believe whether Gary Nolan Jackson or Derrick Allen Byrd was responsible for shooting Gilliam, or whether Gilliam was armed and if he fired any shots.
Court records in Lee County show that Gilliam had an extensive criminal record here. Dating back to 2001, charges include burglary, assault, possession with intent to sell marijuana, and multiple violations stemming from involvement in a widespread car-theft ring Sanford police uncovered in 2003.
