PRINCEVILLE, N.C. — Two men charged with killing three people last month at a Pitt County convenience store have been accused of killing a couple in Edgecombe County in March, authorities said.

Antwan Andre Anthony, 29, and Willie Whitehead, 23, have been charged with murder in the March 18 deaths of Quantellis Carr, 33, and his girlfriend, Jasmine Chesson, 31, authorities said. The couple was found shot to death inside their home in Princeville.

Princeville police charged Ray Shasteen and Ronnell Joyner, both 20, with accessory after the fact, alleging they helped hid the weapon used in the murders of Carr and Chesson.
