Dear Websleuths Members,
I was contacted by Websleuths member Bathbuddys. Bathbuddys' cousin, 51-year-old Thomas Schramm, was murdered a little over a week ago.
Richard Antoine Toney was arrested and is awaiting trial.
The reason Bathbuddys wanted to to start a thread about her cousin is she is hoping our wonderful sleuths will be able to help her with this family tragedy.
I will let Bathbuddys explain more.
It's difficult because below is the only article about the case. I will link back to the article but you have to pay for it.
That's why I am hoping Bathbuddys can explain the case in better detail than the partial article below.
Granted this case doesn't have a lot of information but sometimes people just need to know that others care about their murdered family member.
Thank you for participating.
Tricia

Neighbor faces murder count; was on probation
By: CAREY JOHNSON, Times Staff Writer
LOUISBURG -- A man who was on probation for an unrelated assault was charged with murder last week.
Richard Antoine Toney, 25, made an appearance in Franklin County District Court on Tuesday and his case was continued until March 10.
He had yet to be appointed an attorney.
Franklin County sheriff's deputies arrested Toney on Feb. 26, hours after they allege he killed his neighbor on Dupree Drive, 51-year-old Thomas Schramm.
A motive for the slaying isn't clear, investigators said, but authorities said Toney, Schramm and other people were at a home in the 100 block of Dupree Drive when the shooting took place.
Toney, who lives in a home in the 200 block of the same street was arrested at the sheriff's office after he submitted to questioning.
The weapon has not been recovered, but Terry Wight, the sheriff's office Chief of Staff, said authorities gathered enough information "to make the arrest.
"The investigation is ongoing," he said.
