Authorities in New Bern, North Carolina, have arrested two men, Tyriq Scott, 28, and Jonquez Green, 24, in connection with a recent surge in gang-related shootings in the city. Their arrests stem from a series of violent incidents, including the shooting of a man on Wyndsor Park Drive just hours before the arrests, highlighting a concerning trend in gang activity that has seen five targeted attacks in recent weeks.
The New Bern Police Department is intensifying its response, deploying additional patrols to ensure community safety. Police Chief Pat Gallagher emphasizes the department’s commitment to combatting gang violence, stating, “We will not tolerate gang violence in our city.” Both men face multiple charges, including assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a stolen firearm, with no bond set for either suspect.
