Human Skeletal Remains Found in Harnett County Identified as Missing Dunn Man Tyrone Taylor, Suspect Arrested for Murder

Human skeletal remains found in Harnett County last Monday have been identified as a Dunn man who had been missing for almost two months, according to Sheriff Wayne Coats. The person has been identified as 23-year-old Tyrone Taylor, a beloved member of his community. During a press conference, Sheriff Coats announced the arrest of Daquan Seandre Thomas, who has been charged with murder in relation to Taylor’s death.

Sheriff Coats revealed that Thomas was dating Taylor’s sister, Tanisha, and had previously been arrested on domestic violence charges against her. The connection between the two men is still being investigated.

Taylor went missing in September, and on September 8, his burned car was found in Cumberland County. The discovery of his skeletal remains brings closure to his family, who have been searching for answers for months.

The Harnett County 911 Center received a call from workers on November 20, reporting the discovery of a dead person while clearing a lot on Shady Grove Road. When deputies arrived at the scene, they confirmed that the remains were human skeletal remains. Due to the advanced state of decomposition, the sex and race of the remains could not be immediately determined.

The arrest of Thomas brings some relief to Taylor’s family, but the investigation is ongoing. The community mourns the loss of Tyrone Taylor, remembering him as a well-loved individual. The Sheriff’s Office continues to work diligently to uncover the circumstances surrounding his death.

This case serves as a reminder of the importance of reporting missing persons and the tireless efforts of law enforcement to find answers. The community stands united in support of the Taylor family during this difficult time.
