GASTONIA, N.C. – A man wanted for allegedly shooting and killing a corrections officer in Jacksonville, Florida was arrested Sunday morning in Gastonia. Demaurea Grant, 29, allegedly shot and killed Bradley McNew, an off-duty corrections officer, in Duval County early Saturday morning. Around 7:30 a.m. Sunday, Grant was arrested at a home on North Highland Street in Gastonia. He had outstanding warrants for second-degree murder, discharging a firearm from a vehicle, possession of a firearm by a felon and aggravated assault. Prior to the shooting, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said McNew went to check on a woman who was assaulted by Grant. Grant and the woman got back into a black Mustang before he hung out the window, fired a weapon and struck McNew, the sheriff’s office said. “Today, with the prospect of accountability, our collective horror turns to collective hope,” Sheriff T.K. Waters said.
