EDEN, N.C. — A man died after a double shooting at a business in Eden earlier this month, according to police. 

Eden police said it happened at the J-Mart on 904 Virginia St. around 10:45 on Aug. 2. 

Once officers arrived, they said there was evidence of the shooting in the parking lot but everyone had left the scene.

After an initial investigation, police learned that Sierra Carter and Derek Hairston were injured in the shooting and were being treated at a hospital. On Sunday, police said Hairston died from his injuries. 

Police said witnesses reported that two people were involved in a fight that led to shots being fired.

Investigators said surveillance cameras captured the shooting and led them to identify William Cordero Lindsey and Kwes Lashad Keen as the two involved in the fight. 

After investigation, warrants for both Lindsey and Keen were issued for one count of a firearm by a felon and one count of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill.

Since Hairston's death, Eden police said charges against Lindsey were upgraded to first-degree murder. 

Investigators also said Carter was charged as a conspirator and she was taken into custody without incident.

The Eden Police Department is still requesting the public's assistance in locating Lindsey and Keen.

If you have any information on the shooting, call Crimestoppers at 336-349-9683.
