Lexington man charged with double murder

WOODLEAF, NC — A Lexington man has been charged with two counts of murder in connection with a shooting that occurred Saturday morning in Woodleaf.

At 8:42 a.m., the Rowan County Sheriff's Office received a report of a possible homicide at 1212 Old Oak Lane in Woodleaf. According to officials, Amanda Burr called 911 and said her boyfriend, Jonathan Davon Freeman, had sent her a photo of her husband, Brandon Burr, lying dead in their home.

Officers were also informed that Jonathan's wife, Teri Freeman, may also be dead. When officers arrived at the scene, they found Brandon and Teri dead and Jonathan was still at the scene.

After obtaining a search warrant, investigators collected additional evidence at the crime scene. This, along with incriminating statements Jonathan made to others and a confession, led to charges being filed.

Jonathan Freeman is being held without bail at the Rowan County Detention Center. He is scheduled to make his first court appearance on September 17.
