Shonniel Blackburn Death Details
Blackburn Found Shot Dead, Teens Arrested. “A 15-year-old charged with murder in the shooting of 35-year-old Shonniel Blackburn surrendered to Hickory police on Friday, Hickory Police Chief Thurman Whisnant said. The juvenile is the fourth juvenile defendant to be arrested in Blackburn’s death. He was shot and killed on Monday at the Blue Ridge Heights Apartments. Three 16-year-olds were taken into custody and appeared in court earlier this week. Whisnant has said the law limits his department’s ability to provide much information about the defendants since they are juveniles.” [Hickory Daily]
