Search continues for shooting suspect

The Alamance County Sheriff’s Office is still looking for the person who shot two men on Burch Bridge Road Saturday night.

The shooter is described as a Hispanic man who was possibly driving a tan or beige Mitsubishi at the time of the shooting shortly after 8 p.m. Saturday at a mobile home park at 2207 Burch Bridge Road in Burlington. Authorities think the shooting is connected to an argument over the purchase of a vehicle.

The sheriff’s department was called at about 8:14 p.m. Saturday. When deputies arrived on the scene, Abraham Cano-Castaneda, 20, and Juan Castaneda-Pena, 22, were both on the ground. Castaneda-Pena, whose address is unknown, was shot multiple times and was hit in the leg and the chest. Cano-Castaneda, who lived at the mobile home park, was shot at least once in the arm.

Castaneda-Pena was taken from the scene by helicopter to UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill. Cano-Castaneda was first taken to Alamance Regional Medical Center and then transferred to UNC Hospitals. Their medical conditions weren’t immediately known Wednesday.

The sheriff’s department obtained a warrant early Sunday to search the residence after deputies went inside the mobile home to check for additional victims or suspects and found drops of a “brownish red substance, which appeared to be blood,” according to the warrant.

Deputies also saw several spent shell casings in the gravel driveway where the victims were found.

During the search, investigators seized the following items: a dental stone cast of a tire impression, a blue hat, a lighter, a cell phone, keys, a Winchester .45-caliber bullet, a piece of cloth, a paper towel, a wallet, $3.79, a gun-shot residue sample from the hands of Edgar Gerardo Castaneda Pena, 16 spent .45-caliber shell casings, a projectile removed from one of the victim’s clothing, five rocks with a reddish brown substance on them, a Marlboro cigarette butt, a white piece of paper with names, numbers and a brownish red substance on it, a folded white paper with a brownish red substance on it, eight white cardboard boxes with cotton-tipped swabs with reddish brown substance on them, a small metal tin with a projectile in it, the clothing from both victims as well as $460 from a wallet that belonged to one of the victims.

Anyone with information about the incident can contact the Alamance County Sheriff’s Office at 336-570-6300 or Crime Stoppers at 336-229-7100.

Man wearing pink dress robs Ramsey Street pharmacy

A man who robbed a CVS pharmacy on Ramsey Street over the weekend took a different approach in his attempt to disguise himself.

He wore a pink dress and wrapped a cloth around his head.

The robbery happened about 11:30 a.m. Saturday at the CVS at 404 Ramsey St., said Gavin MacRoberts, a spokesman for the Fayetteville Police Department.

Surveillance video shows the man - wearing a sheer pink dress, tennis shoes and the towel or scarf - entering the store, attempting to cover his face with what appears to be a black stocking.

The man, carrying a tan bag and a white cloth, walks to the register where a woman is completing a purchase. The man reaches over and sets the bag down in front of the cashier, who begins putting money in it.

The man uses the white cloth to cover something in his hand, as if he is carrying a gun.

He fiddles with the stocking or pantyhose, trying to cover his face as the leg portion dangles down the front of his face onto his chest like an elephant's trunk.

The man keeps looking around as the cashier fills the bag. He then takes the bag and walks out.

Police believe the man is between 30 and 40 years old, between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet tall with a medium build.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 433-1856 or CrimeStoppers at 483-TIPS.
