A 35-year-old man in North Carolina has been arrested for allegedly killing his aunt and uncle outside of their home, executing them both with close-range shots to the head from a shotgun. Ryvaries Butcher was taken into custody last week and charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony larceny of a motor vehicle in the slayings of Michael “Mack” Powell and Carolyn Powell, authorities announced.

According to a news release from the Northampton County Sheriff’s Office, deputies at about 10:26 p.m. on Nov. 7, 2024, responded to reports of a shooting at a residence just outside of Gaston, North Carolina, about 25 miles west of Charlotte.
