Mom in wheelchair killed weeks after her boyfriend was beaten to death, NC cops say

UPDATE: A mom was killed in a traffic incident three weeks after her boyfriend was killed in an assault, North Carolina police say.

Connie Holloway, 59, was fatally struck by an impaired driver Sept. 27, the Roxboro Police Department said in a news release.

Her boyfriend, Lawrence Johnson, a 52-year-old father, died after being assaulted Sept. 7, police confirmed to McClatchy News.

“A tragic month for the family involved,” Roxboro Police Captain Chris Dickerson said.

Officers say three men who knew Johnson were involved in his death. Two have been arrested and charged with first-degree murder and common law robbery.

“I am hurt. This is destroying me,” Holloway told ABC11 in a Sept. 10 interview. “I haven’t been able to sleep hardly, to eat. It does not make any sense.”
