Suit: Armed group seeking teen targeted Black woman’s home
WINSTON-SALEM (AP) A law firm that advocates for victims of racial discrimination has filed a lawsuit over an incident in North Carolina in which it said a Black woman’s home came under siege by an armed group looking for a missing white teenager.
The Washington-based Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law filed the suit Tuesday in a Pender County court on behalf of Monica Shepard and her son, Dameon. It said the armed group went to the Shepard’s home on May 3, 2020, seeking a teenage girl who had been reported missing earlier that day but was later found safe.
