Robeson County man charged with murder in mother’s death
ROBESON COUNTY, N.C. (WBTW) — A Robeson County man charged with a weapon violation earlier this week now faces a murder charge in his mother’s death, authorities said Wednesday.
Salvador Bello Morales, 33, of Red Springs, was originally charged Monday with discharging a weapon into an occupied vehicle, the sheriff’s office said. He’s now charged with second-degree murder in the death of his mother, 52-year-old Catalina Morales-Carrios.
Morales was one of three men charged after deputies conducted searches at homes in connection with Morales-Carrios’ death, according to the sheriff’s office. Deputies responded April 30 for a shooting in the area of Rennert Road. Morales-Carrios was taken to a local hospital where she died on May 2.
Morales was not given a bond and will have his first appearance Thursday morning, the sheriff’s office said.
