U.S. Marshals have joined the manhunt for a 24-year-old North Carolina man accused of killing his grandmother, burning her home to the ground and stabbing a deputy.<\/p>\n

Dominic Liam Connelly was last seen in Vanceboro, North Carolina<\/a>, and authorities said he has ties to New York. Authorities say he is considered armed and dangerous.<\/p>\n

His grandmother, Patricia Jean Timek Lopedote, 72, was found dead inside the ashes<\/a> of her home in Craven County.<\/p>\n

Connelly is wanted on charges of murder, arson, motor vehicle theft, attempted murder and felony assault.<\/p>\n

Connelly is described as standing 5-feet, 8-inches tall and weighing around 180 pounds. He has wavy blonde hair and blue eyes.<\/p>\n

Craven County deputies responded to a house fire<\/a> on Oct. 25, when they found Lopedote dead.<\/p>\n

On Oct. 29, he allegedly stabbed a deputy in Vanceboro<\/a>. The deputy survived, but the suspect got away.<\/p>\n

He was still in Vanceboro when he was last seen two days later, on Oct. 31, appearing on a trail camera near 10000 U.S. Highway 17, according to the sheriff’s office. At the time, he was wearing a black long-sleeved shirt and camo pants, carrying what appeared to be a bag in his right hand.<\/p>\n

A search of the surrounding area<\/a> turned up nothing. Residents are asked to check their trail cameras and home security systems.<\/p>\n

On Nov. 4, a homeowner\u2019s Ring camera captured what appeared to be Connelly again \u2014 this time wearing tan clothing and carrying what appeared to be a backpack, blanket and one-gallon jug.<\/p>\n

“They immediately got that video to us, just like we’ve asked,” Sheriff Chip Hughes told local reporters. “Obviously the more time that elapses, the more time that he has to move.”<\/p>\n

He said the new outfit may include overalls.<\/p>\n

“We do have reason to believe that there might be people out there assisting him, in some way, shape or form,” the sheriff added. “Whether it’s money, food, water, clothing, he does have family in the area.”<\/p>\n

Due to the ongoing manhunt, schools have been holding remote classes, and Halloween events were rescheduled, according to WCTI-TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Anyone who sees Connelly is asked to call 911 immediately. Anyone with information can call the U.S. Marshals at 1-877-WANTED2.<\/p>\n

Court records show Connelly had prior run-ins with the law in 2017 on charges including contributing to the delinquency of a minor and violating probation.<\/p>\n

He shared his grandmother’s address as recently as 2021, court records show.<\/p>\n

Lopedote, who lived in Havelock, is remembered as a loving caretaker, generous cook and homemade gift-giver in an online obituary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
