Authorities are searching for Vurnel Smith Jr., accused of killing a couple in northeast Charlotte in what appeared to be a domestic dispute.
Jacquline Gordon-White, 65,was found dead in a home, and the body of 69-year-old Rufus Gordon, in a car trunk on Thursday. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said Smith, 40, is “dangerous” and believed to be traveling in a 2017 black Honda CRV with N.C. license plate: PAS-9116.
The killings occurred Tuesday, according to warrants, Observer news partner WBTV reported. Police said Jacquline Gordon-White was killed in a home in the 9000 block of Red Clay Lane and another woman was hurt. When the woman drove to a nearby hospital, police said they found Rufus Gordon’s body in the trunk of her car.
WBTV reported the couple were the parents of the injured woman. A police source told WBTV that Smith allegedly held that woman captive over days and was sexually assaulting her, but she managed to get out of the house Thursday morning and drive to the hospital.
