Home Invasion Victim in Aberdeen Identified

The Moore County Sheriff's Office has identified the victim of a tragic home invasion that occurred on Sunday. Tynasha Collins, a 23-year-old resident of 106 Forest Circle in Aberdeen. Collins was shot and tragically lost her life on Monday, October 8 due to her injuries.

During the incident, a 17-year-old, believed to be one of the suspected intruders, suffered gunshot wounds, according to the sheriff's office. He was privately transported to Moore Regional Hospital, where he eventually died.

Investigators are actively engaged in the process of identifying at least two more individuals who are accountable for the home invasion.

Parking Lot Collision at Aberdeen's Hampton Inn & Suites Downs Streetlight and Injures Driver

In a recent incident at the parking lot of the Hampton Inn & Suites in Aberdeen, a collision resulted in a streetlight toppling and the driver being hospitalized.

The Aberdeen Police are working to piece together the details. According to official reports, a Subaru Outback veered off course, mounting a curb and crashed into a streetlight. The impact was forceful enough to dislodge the entire pole, along with its concrete foundation. The Subaru continued its trajectory, traversing the parking lot before coming to a halt after descending an embankment. The vehicle suffered severe damage, with one of its wheels completely torn from its frame.

No other vehicles were involved in the incident. The driver of the Subaru was subsequently transported to FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital via EMS for necessary medical care.
