Fayetteville, North Carolina

From the Fayetteville Observer of September 21, 2005
One man killed, another injured in home shootings

Leon Roosevelt Allen's yard was cordoned off with crime-scene tape Tuesday afternoon, and a deputy was posted guard outside the home on Trotwood Drive off Rim Road.

Stacks of concrete blocks were in the yard, and four of Allen's cars were parked in the driveway.

About 12:30 a.m. Tuesday, two men entered Allen's home in the Sunset Mobile Home park and began shooting, a news release from the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office said.

Allen was wounded in the knee and wrist, a neighbor, Abdul Kelly, said.


The Sheriff's Office hasn't commented on a motive.

Kevin Flowers, 22, of Laurinburg, was one of the men who entered the home. He was shot and killed. The second man got away before deputies arrived, the release said.

One neighbor said he found Flowers' body outside the home behind a parked Cadillac.

Allen was taken to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition Tuesday night.
