FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (WXIN/WTTV) — The Indiana State Police announced on Saturday that their Bloomington Post Investigations Unit arrested a murder suspect in North Carolina, following a two-year investigation.
According to ISP, detectives traveled to Fort Liberty, N.C. — northwest of Fayetteville — to arrest 24-year-old Crown Point native Kenron Laing.
Laing was located at Fort Liberty following a murder warrant, ISP wrote in a press release.
The investigation began on Nov. 2022, 2022. At that time, ISP said they were called to investigate the shooting death of then-39-year-old Gildardo Garcia Salina. This took place at Salina’s home in northern Owen County, in the area of North Cataract Road and US231.
Per ISP, Salina worked for a landscaping company and worked at a hotel that Laing often visited.
ISP said the two-year process involved gathering evidence, obtaining an arrest warrant and conducting interviews. Some detectives from the Bloomington Post’s Investigation Unit also traveled to Chicago for further interviews, according to ISP.
