Ned Byrd Murder Arturo Marin Sotelo Arrested Accused Of Killing Deputy Wake. More Arrests Are Expected Says Sheriff Baker

Court documents unsealed Thursday morning confirm that Arturo Marin-Sotelo, 29, is charged with Ned Byrd’s murder. He is scheduled to appear in a Wake County court at 2 p.m. Thursday. Marin-Sotelo’s bullet appeared on the Raleigh/Wake City-County Bureau of Identification website under a charge of murder. The website reported that he had been arrested in Graham on Thursday morning. The Wake County Sheriff’s Office initially declined to confirm whether Marin-Sotelo has been charged in Byrd’s murder. That’s when ABC11 crews went to court and unearthed the arrest warrant that confirmed the murder charge in Byrd’s death. At 12 p.m. Sheriff Gerald Baker confirmed what ABC11 had already reported and thanked all law enforcement for their work on the case. “There is around-the-clock work being done by this agency and others,” he said. Arturo Marin-Sotelo was one of two men arrested Tuesday in Burke County on unrelated charges. A third man was later arrested at a different location. Investigators said Marin-Sotelo was taken to a detention center in Graham for questioning after his arrest in Burke County. After questioning, the Wake County Sheriff’s Office arrested him in the Byrd case. This is why his capture location was listed as Graham. All three men appear to be related. At this time, only Marin-Sotelo has been charged in Byrd’s death. The other two men are being held on unrelated charges. Lt. Walter Adams with the Wake County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday that more arrests are expected. “Future arrests are expected. Our team is still following up on the evidence. I want to make it very clear, this is an active investigation and we urge the public to come forward with any additional information,” he said. Early Thursday morning, the truck that investigators saw on video at the scene of Byrd’s murder was found in Winston-Salem. Sources tell ABC11 the truck may lead investigators to some answers that could help crack the case. Meanwhile, Byrd’s friends and family are preparing for a visitation, which will be held Thursday from 3 to 8 p.m. at Mitchell Funeral Home on Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh. His funeral will be held on Friday at 11 am. at Providence Baptist Church. The Raleigh Police Department will close Glenwood Avenue at 10:30 a.m. and Byrd’s casket will be driven to the church for the funeral by the Cason Unit of the North Carolina State Highway Patrol.

The scene of the crime

Sometime between 11 p.m. Aug. 11 and 1 a.m. August 12, Byrd was shot multiple times. He was wearing a bulletproof vest and had gotten out of his unmarked SUV while on patrol on Battle Bridge Road near Auburn Knightdale Road. He got out of his vehicle to check on something and left his canine companion, Sasha, inside. Investigators have video of the crime scene. Images have previously been released showing a white pickup truck (believed to be a Chevrolet Colorado or GMC Canyon) at the scene at the time of the murder. Sources told ABC11 the truck was later found in Winston Salem.

Outflow of support

All of these updates come as the community continues to try to cope with Byrd’s loss through tributes visible throughout the community. In the East Five Points community, where Byrd lived along East Whitaker Mill Road, blue ribbons are tied to utility poles. Neighbors said they will miss seeing his squad car parked in front of his house because it gave them a sense of comfort. “This was a great way to honor him for tying the blue ribbons around these poles in the neighborhood. Really, as you drive by you can’t help but think of him and send up a prayer for his service and wish him well in his next phase of his existence,” said neighbor Wanda Urbanska. “He was a friendly presence on this street. Way out in his yard. We were all comforted to have him living opposite us. It was nice to see the sheriff’s car out there. I feel like a real loss for him personally, the neighborhood, the family and the sheriff’s department.” And at a bar in the Five Points area of ​​Raleigh, they reserved a seat for him and brought out a drink and a photo of the congressman in his honor. Sheriff Gerald Baker said no one in the department will rest until they understand what happened and find justice for Byrd. “Sometimes it happens in a day or so, sometimes it doesn’t. But we’re in it and we’ll be in it until that day comes,” Baker said. “It’s hard, but we’re going to make it and he’s going to see us through. There’s no question about it. But I know in the end, we’re going to get what we need to get what we’re looking for.” READ MORE: ‘I’ve never seen anything like it’: Wake sheriff candidates talk grief, solutions after deputy’s slaying Editor’s note: The original version of this story said Marin-Sotelo was not one of the two men arrested in Burke County.
