Pineville Road Murder

Sheriff Hartman reports:
 
On April 16, 2024, at 2:49 pm, the Davie County Sheriff’s Office responded to 456 Pineville Road, Mocksville, NC.
A person on scene had called 911 and reported that someone had been shot. Deputies located a female deceased on scene and two other persons in the home.
The deceased has been identified as Jade Marie Sales, age 34, of the residence. Ms. Sales suffered multiple gunshot wounds. The suspect is Dennis Jerome Sales, age 38, of the residence. Sales left the scene before Deputies arrived in a 2007 Toyota Camry with a North Carolina license of TLX – 6824. The vehicle is red and has a black front bumper. Sales should be considered Armed and Dangerous. We believe that he has left the area of Davie County.
There was an 18-year-old female and a one-month-old baby in the residence at the time of the shooting. The 18-year-old called 911 and reported the incident. She, along with the baby, hid in the residence and stayed on the line with Davie County Telecommunicators until Deputies could clear the residence and locate her.
Additional children were located in schools and then brought to the Sheriff’s Office by School Resource Officers for safety reasons. The Department of Social Services assisted with taking care of the children, including a medical checkup for the one-month-old, and finding placements with family.
