A North Carolina officer was fired and is under criminal investigation after he allegedly gathered a group of people and tried to break into a teen's home while searching for a missing person, prosecutors said.
Kita, who was off-duty but allegedly had his weapon and uniform, said they were looking for a missing girl and came to the address looking for a suspect with a different name, according to the mother and son. Dameon Shepard said he was confused since there was a sign on the lawn that announced his graduation from Laney High School with his name on it."I'm just like, 'My name is Dameon. My name is Dameon. I go to Laney High School. I graduated.

The New Hanover County Sheriff fired Kita on Friday while the investigation continues. "Please remain calm and know that committed professionals will see that justice is done in a courtroom," he said at a news conference.MORE: Investigation of Ahmaud Arbery's death faces new scrutiny
