Last week, a North Carolina family alleged that an angry group of white residents in their area terrorized them at their home.
Lea details how an all-white mob led by off-duty New Hanover County Sheriff’s deputy J.T. Kita “terrorized” the teenager and his family over what they believe was a case of mistaken identity.

On the night in question the group – who was said to have been looking for a different teenager who no longer lived in the neighborhood – allegedly tried to force their way into the Shephards’ home to question him.
In one video taken from a neighbor’s house, a man can be heard questioning another resident about the Black teenager Shepard was being mistaken for.
“We all look out for each other and our neighbors are going to notice their erratic driving and loud yelling,” explained Kelly Estes, a neighbor who took photographs after deputies arrived and also identified the voice on the surveillance video as Monica Shepard’s.
