NORTH CAROLINA — Police say two people have been arrested as part of an ongoing homicide investigation connected to the death of Daryl Dudley.

During the search, investigators recovered three firearms, including two handguns — one outfitted with an illegal “switch” device converting it into a fully automatic weapon — and an AR-style pistol.
