A Columbia man was shot and killed last week in North Carolina.

Officials with the Princeton Police Department said Michael Lorenzo Joyner was found on April 2 lying face down in a road after suffering gunshot wounds to the head, hand, and both legs.

Four days later, authorities issued a warrant for the arrest of 26-year-old Marcus Anthony Currie. On Tuesday, Curries was arrested at his home in Four Oaks, N.C.

Currie, who previously served three years in prison, has been charged first-degree murder. He was previously charged with possession of a firearm by a felon, speeding to elude arrest, habitual misdemeanor assault, and habitual felon.

Currie was released on post-release supervision in September 2017.
