LOUISBURG -- A man who escaped conviction for a spring 2013 driveby shooting is the prime suspect in a shooting this week that injured a Spring Hope woman. Louisburg police allege Deshawn Conyers, 21, shot a 20-year-old woman the evening of Jan. 6 while she was in a car on Cooper Street. Louisburg Police Chief Rick Lassiter said authorities believe the shooting was the result of "an ongoing beef" Conyers had with a man in the vehicle. The woman was an apparent innocent bystander.
