Woman charged in Fayetteville child’s death is accused of hiding vehicle used in shooting

A woman charged as an accessory in the drive-by shooting death of a Fayetteville 7-year-old is accused in court records of hiding the vehicle believed used in the killing.

The Fayetteville Police Department announced Thursday that Sierra Adrianna Chambers, 19, was arrested that morning in connection with the death of Zion Amryn Gibbs, a rising second-grader at Benjamin Martin Elementary School.

Zion was inside his Danish Drive home on June 7 when bullets fired from outside penetrated the walls shortly after midnight. One of the bullets struck the child and he died from his injuries two days later, police said.

In September, a month after announcing investigators were seeking information on a Chrysler 200 with a white sticker in the rear window, police announced the sedan had been located.

According to Chambers’ charging document, the vehicle was located in Wagram.

The document alleges that Chambers knew the Chrysler was involved in the homicide and that she helped the shooter escape detection “by removing a white sticker from her rear windshield” and that she left the vehicle in Scotland County to “keep the Fayetteville Police Department from locating it.” The record does not identify the suspected shooter.
