Lumberton teen held in home invasion death

ST. PAULS, NC (AP) — A Lumberton teen has been charged in a fatal home invasion robbery in Robeson County last month.

Nineteen-year-old Dorean Dsheem Smith is accused of the attack at a home in St. Pauls.

Sheriff’s spokesman Randall Graham says Smith is charged with three counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury and one count of first-degree burglary, attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon and conspiracy.

Authorities say four men forced their way into the home on Dec. 23. Twenty-two-year-old Gary Adams Jr. of Parkton was killed. Three other men in the house were wounded.

Deputies say more arrests are expected.
