Indiana State Police arrested a murder suspect in North Carolina

Fayetteville, North Carolina — Indiana State Police investigators captured a murder suspect in North Carolina on Thursday, following a two-year investigation, according to a Saturday news release.

Kenron Laing, 24, of Crown Point, was arrested Thursday on a murder warrant after being apprehended at Fort Liberty, North Carolina. ISP detectives made the arrest in Fort Liberty, northwest of Fayetteville, and Laing is currently awaiting extradition to Indiana.

On November 2, 2022, ISP investigators were asked to launch an inquiry into the shooting death of Gildardo Garcia Salina, 39 at the time. The incident occurred at Salina’s home between North Cataract Road and U.S. 231 in northern Owen County.

During the investigation, ISP detectives discovered that Salina was employed by a landscaping company and had worked at a hotel frequented by Laing.

After ISP detectives completed their two-year investigation, which included interviews and evidence collection/processing, they presented an arrest probable cause affidavit to an Owen County court for consideration. The arrest warrant was approved, and officers proceeded to Fort Liberty.

Laing was captured without incident, with to the intervention of the United States Army’s Criminal Investigation Division. He is being charged with murder as a preliminary matter. Detectives also visited Chicago, Illinois, for additional questioning.

This case is still under investigation.
