- Gaston County family relieved after arrest in memorial vandalism case
A Gaston County family expressed relief after Jashaun Tate was arrested for vandalizing a roadside memorial honoring their son, Uriah McCree, who was killed four years ago. The memorial, repeatedly damaged, was replaced multiple times, but the arrest provided a sense of accountability. A $25,000 reward remains for information about McCree’s unsolved murder.
