Victim In Home Invasion Shoots, Kills Intruder

Friday, Aug 31, 2007

WAYNE COUNTY, N.C. -- One of three men accused of breaking into a home and
holding the residents at gunpoint was shot and killed early Friday morning
by one of the residents.

Wayne County Sheriff's Department officials said Antione Logan Chestnut, 19,
of Dudley was shot to death after he and two other men broke into a home in
the Dudley community at about 12:30 a.m.

There were two adults and four small children -- ages 4, 5,5 and 8 -- at the
home at 2546 Old Mount Olive Highway at the time.

According to officials, Chestnut, Kayloe Lemont Middleton, 25, and one other
man broke through a front door, ransacked the home and held the people
inside at gunpoint.

Police said Chestnut fired at someone in the home. The resident shot back
multiple times, killing Chestnut.

The other two men escaped the home in a dark-colored vehicle. Middleton was
arrested later and is charged with first-degree burglary and first-degree
kidnapping.

Police are still looking for the third intruder.

Investigators with the sheriff's department and the Mount Olive Police
Department are both investigating.

Anyone with information is asked to call (919) 731-1481 or CRIMESTOPPERS at
