Some new developments in a high-profile death investigation in Vance County.
Last week, ABC11 Eyewitness News reported the death of a young truck driver, Javion Magee. He was found dead last Wednesday in a wooded area with his back up against a tree and a rope around his neck.
Vance County Sheriff Curtis R. Brame said there were no signs of foul play in Magee’s death and that it was not a lynching.
On Monday, the Vance County Sheriff’s Office released a video showing the moments Magee bought the rope the sheriff says was used in his death.
In the video, you see a man purchasing a utility rope from the self-checkout lane at a Walmart in Henderson. You then see him walking out of the store with the rope in hand.
