    Man charged with first-degree murder

    GREENSBORO (AP) — Police in Greensboro have arrested a suspect in the shooting death of a man.

    Police say they were called to a neighborhood in east Greensboro shortly before 4 a.m. Sunday. Officers found 32-year-old Jamal Muata Perry in a house, suffering from gunshot wounds.

    Perry was taken to Moses Cone Hospital where he died.

    Twenty-eight-year-old Landis Lamar Jackson has been charged with first-degree murder and burglary.

    Jackson is being held in the Guilford County jail. It was not clear if he has a lawyer.

    Capt. Mike Richey says Perry often stayed at the home where the shooting occurred, but the officer was not certain if the victim lived there.

    Richey says other people were in the home.
