A Morganton man was charged with murder Tuesday in connection with a botched home invasion Friday that left one man dead, authorities said.
Kenneth Raynard Conley, 18, was being held without bond at the Burke County jail in the death of Pedro Arnol Ramirez.
The Morganton Department of Public Safety has warrants charging three others -- Joshua Aaron Crisp, 16, Alicia Camille Goode, 29, and Elgin Anthony Melson, 23 -- with murder in Ramirez's death, authorities said.
Just before midnight Friday, at least two men broke into Ramirez' and Manual Vargas' Jones Street home while the pair was inside, authorities said. Ramirez and Vargas struggled with the invaders, who were armed with a pistol and a rifle.
Ramirez was killed, and Vargas was taken to Grace Hospital, where he was treated for nonlife-threatening gunshot wounds.
Anyone with information should call the Morganton Department of Public Safety at 828-437-1211 .
