16-year-old Henry Hargis was arrested on the day of the shooting and was indicted in August on charges of first-degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon with the intent to kill inflicting serious injury. 17-year-olds Kayden Lindsey and Zachary Rose were indicted on Sept. 15. Dare County District Attorney Jeff Cruden told News 3 that all three teenagers are charged with first-degree murder, saying, “Hargis as the principal for pulling the trigger, Rose and Lindsey as accessories.”

The shooting took place on July 31 in the Avalon Fishing Pier’s parking lot, according to Kill Devil Hills police. First responders were at the scene four minutes after the call, where officers and Dare County EMS found two people who were shot, according to a press release issued after the press conference. Hughes was pronounced dead, while another was hospitalized due to serious injuries.
