Wilmington man charged with Greensboro mall murder

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — A Wilmington man wanted for a fatal shooting outside of the Four Seasons Town Centre  in Greensboro earlier this year is in the New Hanover County jail.

Tedrick McClary, 25, is currently being held without bond.

According to a news release from the Greensboro Police Department, the search for McClary spanned across three states.

On May 4, Sherrod Maurice Crum, 34, was walking outside of the mall when he was struck by at least one bullet fired from a car that drove past him. An ambulance took Crum to Moses Cone Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

A detective from the Greensboro Police Department’s Violent Criminal Apprehension launched a 30 day search and tracked McClary from North Carolina through Virginia to Pennsylvania.

U.S. Marshals in Pennsylvania arrested McClary on August 11. He was charged with outstanding warrants out of New Hanover County for two counts of Possession of a Stolen Firearm, Trafficking in Opium or Heroin, Selling Heroin, and other crimes he allegedly committed several years before the Greensboro shooting.

He was kept in a Philadelphia prison until he was extradited to New Hanover County on Saturday.

That’s where he was served with the warrant for First Degree Murder. He is awaiting trial for the drug and firearms charges.
