Murder Suspect, Woman Charged in Downtown Shooting

Whiteville Police have charged a man and woman for the shooting at a downtown gathering April 13.

Karri McMillillian, 34, was already in custody for the killing of Jaquise Blanks the day after the shootout at Func-tionz, a now-closed business on Madison Street.

Samantha Crawford, 34, was arrested Wednesday (today) in Lumberton, according to a press release from Whiteville Police.

McMillian and Crawford are charged with discharging a firearm at an occupied vehicle. Crawford was held under $3,500 secured bond, and $25,000 was added to McMillian’s bond for the new charge.

Whiteville Police Chief Paul Rockenbach thanked his investigative division for their work on the case, as well as Lumberton Police for their assistance in Crawford’s arrest.
Both the Cribbs murder and the shooting at Func-Tionz are still under investigation.

Anyone with information about either case is asked to call 910.642.5111.
