A Fayetteville man accused in a Harris Street homicide on New Year’s Day was being tracked by a GPS ankle monitor on the night of the killing, court records show.
Omarion Malik Allen, 21, is charged with first-degree murder and felony conspiracy in the shooting death of David Earl Page Jr., 36.
Page was found dead Jan. 1 of gunshot wounds in a backyard in the 1800 block of Harris Street after the city’s gunfire detection system registered gunshots in the area about 5:15 p.m., the record shows. Officers recovered 9 mm and 45 caliber shell casings from near Page’s body.
According to Allen’s arrest warrant, homicide detectives reviewing various surveillance camera footage from around the city spotted a black Hyundai Elantra turning onto Harris Street minutes before the fatal shooting. Afterward, the vehicle was seen on Enoch Avenue less than a half mile from the scene, the record states.
During a review of all GPS monitoring by police, the warrant states that Allen’s GPS points showed to be at the same locations at the same time as the Elantra. A search of the license plate revealed the vehicle was stolen out of Hoke County less than three hours earlier.
