Suspected gunman in officer-involved shooting connected to homicide, investigators say
Evidence in an Indian Trail homicide began pointing to the suspect in an officer-involved shooting in Monroe just hours after his encounter with police. 18-year-old Joshua Sikes was shot and killed by police after he opened fire, shooting an officer early Saturday morning, officials said. Monroe Police attempted to stop a suspicious vehicle along Old Charlotte Highway around 1:45 a.m. Saturday, officials said. The driver, who was later identified as Sikes, led officers on a pursuit where he opened fire and struck an officer. Sikes abandoned his vehicle and fled on foot into a heavily wooded area, according to reports. A large-scale manhunt followed. He was found armed with a rifle. He then began firing at officers again and was fatally shot by police. Several hours later, around 6 a.m., Union County Sheriff's Office deputies were dispatched to a home on the 2000 block of Astoria Drive in Indian Trail following reports of a man shot inside, officials said.
