Black North Carolina Couple Murdered in Their Driveway
March 27, 2012 in Banner, North Carolina, U.S. Domestic Terrorism
A North Carolina couple were gunned down in their driveway on March 24, 2012, while their children looked on. Tommy Brown and his girlfriend, Thalia Mook, both 35 years old, were murdered by their neighbor, John Hill Jr. outside their residence at 110 T.C Jones Road in Hoke County, North Carolina.
According to the Fayetteville Observer, Tommy Brown asked his neighbor, John Hill Jr., to stop shooting his firearm because children were outside playing. While Brown was playing basketball with two of the children, “Hill entered the yard carrying a .30-30 rifle and shot Brown in the back,” stated Sheriff Hubert Peterkin.
The children ran inside for cover and to get their mother, Thalia Mook. When she came outside, Hill fatally shot Ms. Mook twice. Hill went back to his home in the 5600 block of Philippi Church Road and refused to come out for authorities. He finally surrendered after a 30-minute standoff and was taken into custody. Officers seized 10 firearms from a search of Hill’s home Sunday morning.
John Hill Jr. is being held without bond in the Hoke County Detention Center (near Rock Fish, NC). He has been charged with First Degree 
Murder in the killing of Mr. Tommy Brown, with charges still pending for the murder of Thalia Mook.

Neighbors Jimmy Bunnels and Lois Clairmont describe Brown and Mook as “good people, the best neighbors…they were quiet and they loved their kids.” Both neighbors, also witnesses, “described Hill as someone to avoid.”
Tommy Brown and Thalia Mook are the latest casualties of U.S. Domestic Terrorism. According to Sheriff Peterkin, they are still investigating and searching for a possible motive. Jamie Scott, the brother of neighbor Jimmy Scott, summed up the senseless double homicide, saying, “It’s insane.”

What is wrong with people all over this country. People just think they can do whatever they want and nothing will come of it just STOP STOP. When expect to grow-up in this world and work hard for a good life for your family that should be possible for everyone. Years ago (not longago) there was all this talk about black no black crime I don’t think we should close our eyes to the fact that it’s not black on black crime to me it looks like everybody on black crime. What so wrong with all others treating us as they want to be treated! Why when this happens can’t these people be arrested and charged just the same. There was a out cry in years past of WE WANT JUSTICE FOR OUR PEOPLE! I didn’t think that meant just for apart of our society. This person was old enough to first of all not to be shooting guns of in a neighborhood with children playing. Why weren’t the police called just on that? This person not man he had no sence of responsebilty should have been arrested and lock up for killing both parents(double murder) and discharging a firearm in a residential area. The children saw this and black children live with the same kinds of horror as any other race of child. We as a society need to get a grip on the reality of this and so many other things that are happening around us!!!!! JUST STOP,STOP AND THINK! We are going backward and there was nothing good about the past.
Well said Dorothy! It’s just not okay for children to be murdered in the street. This madness must end.
