Concord Triple Murder Facts Scarce (Redux)

This case from 12 years ago gives a good idea why North Carolina's justice system is failing us. Darryl Anderson killed 3 white women in 2014 and received 3 consecutive life sentences.

Yet there are liberals that think his sentence is unjust and far too harsh.

Anderson has nearly a dozen convictions and should not have be out of prison in 2014 but the "fair felons act" gave him a second chance and he was released from prison in 2011.

A year later 2012 he was convicted of child abuse and should have been returned to prison, he wasn't. 

Investigators say Darryl Anderson shot and killed three women in Concord during the Wednesday February 12, 2014 snow storm.

Apparently an altercation escalated and Anderson shot and killed Jessica Cox, and then turned his gun on Sharon Cox shooting her once. Sharon Cox, though wounded escaped and fled to her daughter Veronica's home next door.

Anderson apparently chased Sharon Cox into the second trailer home where he stood over her and fired his gun twice more.

At this point the second daughter ran from her bedroom to call 911.

Veronica Cox, told investigators she saw Anderson stand over her mom and shoot her twice. He then pointed the gun at her face and said "get out of my way".

The motive for the killings is unknown, as well as, why Anderson chose not to shoot Veronica Cox.

 

Veronica Cox survived the attack that killed her mother, sister and neighbor.

The third victim 45-year-old Sheila Serrano who lived across the street was also shot by Anderson and also died. Anderson apparently believed the Jessica Cox was having an affair with Serrano's ex husband and Anderson shot her in his fit of rage.

Anderson today is held by the North Carolina Department of Corrections at the Avery-Mitchell Correctional Institute.

He's racked up 25 prison infractions and is apparently far from a model prisoner. But his release from prison under the fair felons act began a chain of crimes that continued for more that a decade and eventually lead up to one of Cabarrus County most horrific crimes.
