A North Carolina man wanted for murder in his hometown of Charlotte is among two suspects accused of fatally shooting an Inwood man Saturday night, Nassau County police said.
James Currie, 25, was charged with second-degree murder along with 23-year-old Tyshaun Jacobs of Oceanside.

Homicide Squad detectives said Currie and Jacobs shot and killed 30-year-old Desmond Kelly while robbing the victim at his Wanser Avenue home at 9 p.m.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police added that Currie is facing a murder charge for the fatal shooting a man in the hallway of an East Charlotte apartment building on Aug. 7. Currie will later be extradited to face those charges.
Both suspects were held without bail following their arraignments at First District Court in Hempstead earlier this week.
The men were each represented by Legal Aid attorneys. They are due back in court on Sept. 9.
gwen i get u are frustrated about the situation but to wish something like that is cruel n just because u seen it on the first 48 i doubt u kno the whole story but to say that about my cousin is foul regardless of the situation or how it happen. I understand he did something wrong n for that he has to pay the consequences for it but the rest of that u said is BS POINT BLANK PERIOD
I feel its a shame everytime I watch first 48 its always one of our own killing each other for senseless shit that they can’t take back… @ BK finest I understand that’s your FAM what if situation was different and if it was James who got killed you would be upset… The facts are N innocent man (Brooks) got killed in front of his 9 year old son… Which his son has to live with the memory of his father murder for the rest of his life… @ the end of it all right is right and wrong is wrong… Its sad that they both lost there life James is young man who will spend the rest of his life behind bars all because of his choices… And one day he will realize his actions.. We need to stop reacting and start thinking!!! It’s really a shame we choose to live like this. Life can be so simple but we rather make it hard… I’m a single mother of 3 girls and I get up and bust my ass everyday to provide for my family.. yeah I could say fuck it and sell drugs or sell my body for money or I could rob a person… The ??? Is why do it??.. there are always consequence to those action… Just live right and work hard for your’s… Some people will never learn… Some people are Prisoners in they own mind…
I feel it’s a shame everytime I look @ first 48 hours all I see is us killing us over nonsense that we can’t take back.. its like two lives have been taken cause there is no going back… @ Brooklyn finest I know its hard when its your FAM in this situation if the tables was turned and it was James that was killed I think you will feel the same way… A man was killed in front of his 9 year old son which he has to live with it for the rest of his life… And to find out Brooks has nothing to do with it makes the matter worst… It’s a shame and I hope people learn from this!!!!
Hold ya head bro!!… its always two sides to a story.
@FINEST I AGREE ONE HUNDRED. @GWEN U DONT KNOW WHAT ON THAT NIGHT AND IT IS RUDE ON WHAT U SAID ABOUT JAMES. I AM PRETTY SURE IF IT WAS A FRIEND OR FAMILY U WOULDN’T SAY THE SAME ABOUT THEM AS U DID JAMES CURRIE.
First of all Gwen u dont have a clue of what happened u where not there u only going on what u see on tv get up on current events bet u don’t know they robbed him first for $475 no he shouldn’t have killed him I agree and made anybodys bitch it ain’t happenNig nOthing pussy about my cousin and no I don’t agree with what he did god will deal w him in his own way!
yeah i saw that episode too, people have no sense or care for the things they do. it is unfortunate for the lives they affect for their stupidity. where would we be without the justice system? hell on earth. so sad.
I saw the first 48 episode where james currie murdered that young father for no reason in front of his son. you sorry bastard I sure as hell while you’re in prison you are bound gagged and made some big man’s bitch on a daily basis, since you have no regard for human life. YOU ANIMAL
