Two brothers, a cousin and another man have been charged in Kinston's only homicide of 2012.
Police arrested the four Friday for the December 26th shooting death of Dajuquon Poole and the attempted murder of Tiran Farris.
The four are 21-year-old William Wilson, 27-year-old Joseph Wilson, 32-year-old Elwood Gray and 23-year-old Justin Wilson, all of Kinston. They are in the Lenoir County jail under no bond.
Police say Justin and Joseph Wilson are brothers, while William Wilson is their first cousin.
