Thanksgiving Shooting Trial Ends in Prison Time | Wilmington News
Description
A jury delivered a brutal verdict in New Hanover County: Uriah Butcher sentenced to 23-30 years for a Thanksgiving Day shooting that targeted a pregnant woman’s family. Witnesses say he chased them down after spotting them at a store, then opened fire—hitting a passenger and leaving six shell casings behind. The victim, Quashawn Pearsall, was murdered the next day; Butcher was caught fleeing and even broke into a home to change clothes. This retrial followed a prior case where he was convicted of breaking and entering but acquitted on murder conspiracy. Meanwhile, Ahmad Tate, already guilty of manslaughter for Pearsall’s death, faces pending charges tied to the same incident.
