Murder warrants issued in 2020 homicide investigation

IREDELL COUNTY, N.C. — Detectives with the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office issued murder warrants for Kadeem Jamar Fetherson, 32, of Charlotte, for the 2020 killing of Aaron Bruce Holland.

The investigation began on June 25, 2020, when Holland was found dead in his home on Damron Lane in Harmony.

Authorities said the investigation led them to believe Fetherson was a possible suspect in the suspicious death.

Fetherson was arrested a week later in Forsyth County after fleeing from deputies, the sheriff said.

Forsyth County deputies seized a stolen firearm, 31 grams of methamphetamine, 44 grams of cocaine, and 141 grams of marijuana.

Fetherson was placed at the scene of the crime, because of the investigation into digital evidence.
