WILMINGTON, N.C. (WBTW) — A man facing federal charges in the shooting of two Robeson County deputies more than a year ago is scheduled to be arraigned in early January in U.S. District Court in Wilmington. Shawn Tobin Locklear Jr. is set to appear before U.S. Magistrate Robert B. Jones in the court's Eastern District at 9:30 a.m. on Jan. 16, according to court records. His arraignment had been scheduled for Dec. 10, but the case was delayed amid negotiations for a possible plea agreement. Shawn Tobin Locklear Jr. faces a federal drug trafficking charge and three gun-related charges including possession of a machine gun, as well as carjacking with intent to cause serious bodily injury. He was indicted on the gun charges in March, while the carjacking charge was filed against him in November 2023. The incident happened on Nov. 7, 2023, while Locklear was out of jail on bond for murder and armed robbery charges that stemmed from the death of Joshua R. Hunt, 28, of Red Springs, in late November 2022. Authorities said he also was arrested on an armed robbery charge in March 2022 and was given a bond in that case as well. If convicted of his charges, Locklear, 20, faces a minimum of 40 years and a maximum of life in prison. The incident sent deputies Jonathan Walters and Kaelin Locklear to the hospital. Kaelin Locklear was shot in the upper body and released from the hospital on Nov. 9, 2023. Walters, who was shot in the lower body, returned home shortly after. According to a complaint, deputies were trying to serve an arrest warrant on Shawn Locklear when he opened fire. The deputies took cover behind their patrol car, but Locklear then allegedly entered the driver’s side of the patrol car and put it into reverse while one of the deputies was on the ground behind the vehicle. The deputy, later identified as Walters, was able to push himself partially out of the way before Locklear ran over his leg and drove away in the patrol vehicle. The incident was captured on the deputies’ body cameras.
