As a result of the investigation, Homicide detectives developed information linking Arrestee Eric Warren McLendon, a Black male 51-years-old, to the death of victim Comeagia Johnson on March 3, 2016. Detectives Shinn and White flew to Salisbury, North Carolina to obtain a search warrant for Arrestee McLendon’s DNA.  Arrestee McLendon was read his Miranda warning and voluntarily waived his rights by agreeing to speak with detectives.  McLendon admitted to striking the victim numerous times and leaving her at the location unresponsive.  McLendon has been charged with murder and placed in the Rowan County Jail on a $150,000.00 bond.
