Austin Thompson pleaded guilty to five counts of murder, two counts of attempted murder and three assault charges. The charges are from an October 2022 mass shooting in Raleigh's Hedingham, neighborhood. Austin's 16-year-old brother, James Thompson, and an off-duty officer were among the people who were killed. The October 13, 2022, shooting spree began inside the Thompson family home and ended on the nearby Neuse River Greenway. In addition to the murder charge for the death of his brother, Austin Thompson is charged with the murders of an off-duty Raleigh police officer, Gabriel Torres, 29, who was on his way to work when he was shot; Mary Marshall, 34; Nicole Connors, 52, and Susan Karnatz, 49. Another Raleigh police officer, Casey Clark, 33, and Marcille 'Lynn' Gardner, a special education teacher, were injured. Thompson was found with a gunshot wound to his head approximately six miles away from his home. Because of his age at the time of the shooting, the hearing will determine whether or not he will be eligible for parole. However, he is not eligible to face the death penalty because he was younger than 18 when the shooting occurred.
