Isaiah was also charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Richard Alexander Hardin, 32, is wanted on charges that include felony conspiracy and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill.

Deputies responded at about 12:20 a.m. on June 12 to 10518 Shannon Road for a shooting, the sheriff’s office said. A 26-year-old man was found with gunshot wounds. He was taken to an area hospital and has since been released.

The investigation into the shooting led to a search warrant being conducted Tuesday in the 700 block of Jacquelyn Avenue, according to deputies. The search yielded a “quantity” of cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana, guns and money.

Isaiah Locklear and Ryan Locklear were booked into the Robeson County Detention Center without bond.
