Man Won't Face Trial For Statesville Slaying
STATESVILLE, N.C. —
A man charged with murder in the shooting death of a Statesville teen will not go to trial on the charge.
The Statesville Record and Landmark reports Kevin Turner told police he shot and killed 17-year-old Shannon Lackey in self defense at a party in January. Investigators did not believe him and charged him with murder.
But a grand jury has decided there was not enough evidence to proceed to a trial.
