Onslow County Woman Arrested, Awaiting Extradition to Virginia on Murder Charge
A woman from Onslow County, North Carolina, is awaiting extradition to Virginia, where she faces charges of murder related to a fatal stabbing incident.
According to the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation (SBI), 56-year-old Sherri McGregor was taken into custody last Thursday in Onslow County. The arrest was made based on a murder warrant issued by the Martinsville Police Department in Virginia.
Authorities in Martinsville allege that McGregor was involved in the stabbing death of 69-year-old James Carmichael. The incident occurred on September 22, with reports indicating that Carmichael suffered a fatal stab wound to the chest. He succumbed to his injuries shortly after the attack.
While the arrest has been made, Martinsville police have not yet disclosed any potential motive for the crime or clarified the nature of the relationship, if any, between McGregor and the victim. The circumstances leading to the stabbing remain under investigation as law enforcement continues to piece together details about the case.
McGregor is currently being held in custody in Onslow County as arrangements are made for her extradition to Virginia. Once extradited, she will face formal charges and legal proceedings in connection with the murder of Carmichael.
The case has drawn attention as authorities in both states collaborate to ensure justice is served. Additional details about the incident, including potential evidence or witness testimonies, have not been made public. Police are urging anyone with information about the case to come forward to assist in the ongoing investigation.
This tragic incident underscores the importance of cross-state law enforcement coordination in addressing serious crimes. Updates regarding McGregor’s extradition and subsequent legal proceedings are expected in the coming weeks as the case develops.
