Man apparently confesses to shooting on Facebook


FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (AP) – A Fayetteville man wanted on a murder charge in the shooting death of his daughter’s grandfather has apparently confessed to the slaying on Facebook while on the run from police.

An incident report shows that 32-year-old Anthony Curtis Macneill is wanted on a murder charge in the shooting death early Sunday of 48-year-old Eugene Racine. Racine is a grandfather of Macneill’s 15-month-old daughter.

Deputies say the shooting resulted from a domestic dispute.

Media outlets report that Macneill posted several times on his Facebook site later Sunday. One post on the site said: “Just killed someone. Leaving NC goodbye everyone.” In other posts the writer threatened to kill himself.
