SLAYING VICTIM IDENTIFIED

Police on Tuesday identified a man shot to death over the weekend as Remus Johnson, 29.

Johnson, who police said lived in Norfolk but didn't have a permanent address, was found dead inside a Huntersville home Saturday after firefighters put out an arson blaze.

Police said Johnson died of a gunshot wound, and the fire may have been set to cover the shooting. No suspects were in custody Tuesday, and police did not know of a motive.

Anyone with information is asked to call 441-5100.
