HOFFMAN — A Moore County man is wanted in connection to a Tuesday murder attempt after deputies say his two accomplices were caught earlier this week.
Deputies were still searching for 21-year-old Tevin Barrington Spencer — who is considered to be armed and dangerous — early Thursday afternoon. He is from the Southern Pines area and the Southern Pines Police Department is assisting deputies in the investigation.
SHOTS INTO HOME
Richmond County sheriff’s deputies say 31-year-old Anisha Nicole McLean, of Hailey Ames Road in Hoffman, drove 23-year-old Jason Marcus McLean and 21-year-old Tevin Barrington Spencer — both from Moore County — to a home on James Kelly Drive Tuesday afternoon to kill a man the woman was having domestic issues with.
When they arrived, the two men fired an unspecified amount of shots into the home — occupied by two children — with handguns, according to deputies.The intended target, Quenton D’Angelo Zinnerman, was in the backyard.
No one was injured during the incident.
After the attempt on Zinnerman’s life, the suspects fled the scene.

Anisha McLean was arrested later that day following a traffic stop during the investigation. She was initially charged with one count of attempted first-degree murder and jailed under a $100,000 bond. However, deputies later added two additional attempted murder charges and a charge of discharging a firearm into an occupied property and her bond was raised to $350,000.
