One dead, two injured in Eden triple shooting; two suspects arrested

25-year-old Justin Joyce and 18-year-old Waylan Tuttle were both charged with voluntary manslaughter and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill.

EDEN, N.C. — Two men were arrested Thursday in connection to a deadly shooting on Morgan Road around 9:11 p.m. Wednesday night. 

Justin Warren Joyce, 25, and Waylan Ray Tuttle, 18, were both charged with voluntary manslaughter and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill.

Police said a Lieutenant responded to a disturbance call, but when he got to the scene, he heard multiple gunshots coming from a home. 

Eden officers, Rockingham County Sheriff's Office, and Reidsville police were then called to the scene as shots were being fired. 

Police said several people were seen running from the area, and they eventually found three victims. 

"It was like six or eight of them coming up the driveway and all of them had guns shooting behind them. They went up the driveway and came down the driveway shooting behind them," Douglas Wooden told WFMY News 2.

Two people were taken to the hospital and one person was found dead in the home's yard. 

Eden police are working a large crime scene. Morgan Road between Lee Street and Flynn Street is closed indefinitely while detectives get more information about the incident.

Officers are also currently interviewing several people who were at the scene when the shooting happened.
