The Arrest and Immediate Aftermath

David Hansen Lever, a real estate agent in Greenville, North Carolina, faces charges following a triple homicide.

Enrique Reyes, a retired biology professor, was reportedly the first to fall victim to Lever’s alleged actions. Lever’s proximity to Reyes’ residence raises questions about their connection. The investigation seeks to uncover any loaded significance in their interaction.
