♦ UPDATED: At around 2:15 a.m. a fist fight broke out in a party inside the Joseph Charles “J.C.” Price American Legion Post at 1433 Old Wilkesboro Road in Salisbury’s West End. The two participants, both described as Black males and were separated by security and asked to leave. According to persons at the scene, the fight escalated outside in the rear of the Legion Post into a pitched gun battle. When the firing subsided, two men were reported down in the lot behind the legion hall. The ground, where the two gunshot victims lay, was blood soaked.
The two men, shot behind J.C. Price, were later identified this morning as Antoine Terrell “Sky” McGee, 29, and his brother Devon Daniel McGee, 24, both of Salisbury. Antoine McGee remains in critical condition, but his brother Devon died. Both men were transported earlier by helicopter to Wake Forest Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem.
The Late Devon Daniel McGee:
Antoine Terrell McGee:
Right after the shooting occurred Salisbury Police vehicles began filling up the area and emergency vehicles were shortly on the scene. About an hour later another gun battle between two cars broke out near the Brenner Crossing Apartments on Brenner Avenue across from the cemetery. Multiple gunshots were reported.
One of the vehicles involved in the gun battle stopped and the driver got out and fled the area. K-9s were brought to the scene.
It is not confirmed at this time if the shooting at J.C. Price was related to the gun battle on Brenner Avenue.
“J.C.” Price American Legion Hall was the site of the tragic crossfire homicide of 13-year old Treasure Feamster in 2007 when she stepped between rival gangs.
If someone has information about these two incidents please contact the Salisbury Police Department at 704-638-5333 or call Salisbury-Rowan Crime Stoppers at 1-866-639-5245.
