FORT LIBERTY — A Laurinburg man has been charged in December 2020 slayings of a Special Forces soldier and a veteran whose bodies were found at Fort Liberty.


In a news release Friday, U.S. Attorney Michael Easley said that Kenneth Maurice Quick Jr., 23, was indicted Aug. 1 on charges including murder, conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute cocaine, firearm and obstruction charges and two counts of the use of a firearm causing death.

The charges are related to the slayings of Master Sgt. William LaVigne II, 37, and Army veteran Timothy Dumas Sr., 44 — identified in the federal indictment by their initials.

The new release states that Quick allegedly committed first-degree murder by shooting one person on then-Fort Bragg property, on Dec. 1, 2020.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It is VERY rare for a Master Sergeant (E-8) to be accused of dealing drugs. Especially a SF MSG.

The closest memory I have of something like this was a senior NCO in SF being arrested for bank robbery back in the 60's. IIRC,he was robbing a bank to get the money to keep his 20 year old girlfriend happy.
