ALBEMARLE, N.C. — A second suspect has been charged in connection with the murder of a man in Albemarle in February, police said.

Langhorne-Hagins was charged with first-degree murder and felony conspiracy.

Officers said Crump was found shot on Feb. 8 in the front yard of a home on Henry Jay Street in Albemarle. Crump was taken to Atrium Health Stanly, where he later died.

Langhorne-Hagins was extradited back to North Carolina after a hearing in Virginia.

Langhorne-Hagins first court appearance is scheduled for June 8.

Collins is being held in the Stany County Jail without bond. His next court appearance is scheduled for May 18.
