- Brothers Cortavious Lawayne Hobbs, 18, and Cortavion Dewayne Hobbs, 19, were arrested early Tuesday after an hours-long manhunt and were found hiding beneath a Mount Olive home.
- Both men were charged with two counts of attempted capital murder and hindering prosecution, and Cortavion also faces a felony fleeing charge.
