Terry Conner. Jr Arrested Charged In The Murder of Scott Allen Brooks

Terry Conner, Jr. was born November 8, 1986 and it didn't take long for his life to turn to crime.

By the time he was 19 Conner already had a long list of petty crimes added to his name.

Then on September 12, 2005 he committed the first violent act he would be convicted of, the eventual charge "Robbery With a Dangerous Weapon" (2 Counts) the following day September 13, 2005 he would rob again.

He would be convicted of the robberies on June 29, 2006 and for those crimes he was sentenced to a minimum of 64 to a maximum of 86 months in prison.

Then on September 18, 2006 while still in the custody of the Mecklenburg County Sheriff he committed another felony this time the charge "Assault Inflicting Serious Bodily Injury", a Class F Felony. He was tried and convicted of the assault charge in 2006 and sentenced to 20-24 months to run concurrently to the robbery conviction.

He would serve only 64 months on the convictions, and was paroled from prison on November 2011. His parole was set to end on April 4, 2013.

But six months after his release his crime spree would continue, on May 18, 2012 (Assault) and on May 20 (Assault with a deadly weapon inflecting serious injury) in short he shot two people.

On May 20, 2013 Conner now 27 would be found guilty of all four charges. The first AWDWISI and the second AWDWISI count were boxcar'd. Meaning Conner would begin serving the second sentence of a maximum of 58 months after he finished serving the first term of 58 months. On February 21, 2016 he began his second sentence. 

In total Conner would spend 9 years, 7 months and 25 days in prison but only a little more than 6 years for the two shootings.

On September 3, 2019 Conner was released from the Maury Correctional Institution in Greene County North Carolina and returned to Charlotte. He would never check in with his parole officer.

Three months later in the early morning hours of December 9, 2019, Scott Brooks would be gunned down by two armed robbers during a robbery attempt. He was 61.

Terry Conner has been charged with Scott's murder. 

Cedar's Take: Conner is a prime example what is wrong with a system that fails to recognize violent felons as perpetual risk to society.

where are the protests?!! A black male killed a hard working blue collar working white man! “If the shoe was on the other foot”. Also, hope Homicide was on their A game on this one and didn’t rush to get a warrant on less than PC like the case botched several weeks ago where the guy clearly didn’t do it and was locked up for months and then released by DA office.

Anyone know how Starnes is working out in Homicide?

The usual suspect... Time to bring back ol sparky, public hangings, and disembowelment. That's the only deterrent. You dont reward a dog when it doesn't behave. These animals are no different.

Yeah nice arrest. But did he really do it?

3:47 no kidding - the last guy was COMPLETELY INNOCENT - yet he was still charged just for a clearance. How can we trust any arrest the homicide unit makes now?? Also probably put VCAT at risk going after him for BS charges.

DC Patterson needs to be named the Chief after Putney. Just watching her at the press briefing today she was articulate, disciplined, quick with answers and extremely professional. She is also of very high moral character and education. She has my respect.

Former AC Foster could take a lesson or more from her on how to conduct yourself as opposed to “no one likes me because I’m a African American Woman”. AC Foster was the poster child of unprofessionalism, race card playing, and down right never around to portray any leadership to this department.

6:10. Ok so it’s obviously you Estella making that ridiculous post. Your University of Phoenix degree has worked wonders for your career. Can you do us a favor though? Next time you see Putney tell him he’s full of shit. We all saw his horseshit interview on Chanel 9 talking about his new marketing ploy to hire 150 officers. First of all it’s more like 300 that we are in desperate need of. Secondly, if can retain the officers we already have maybe there wouldn’t be such a desperate need. Come August we’re all screwed.

Probation leadership from Murphy to Manteo is poor. It starts in Raleigh with the director a former leader in Meck. Oh wait, he started the poor management in Meck and now they can't keep anyone. Officers with years of experience are leaving due to ignorance in Meck. CMPD might have problems but probation can make them look like the best department ever created. Watch out because most experienced officers are gone and the average officer has less than 2 years. Probation has his officers doing drugs on duty stealing from offenders the list goes on.

Officer June is just a disgusting, fat replacement for Officer Jessica Wallin. Seriously, what fucking work has June ever done for us? She is just another person that they are putting behind a desk until they can pass the Sgt's exam. They did the same shit for other worthless supervisors.

Could any picture June rolling into a robbery at the Circle K on South Blvd. and holding the suspect at gunpoint?

Chief, you are a lying ass sack of shit. Remember when you targeted officers for doing their jobs? Remember when you trashed Jon Dunham on live television? Remember when you buried a KBCOPS report about a black officer stealing paychecks from secondary employment?

Sip your own damn medicine and start doing good for your officers, Chief.

2037HOURS: We have been talking about low pay-low staffing, sex with bosses, pledge fund, Foster bday bash, and then you chime in about crude comments? You have so much to fix at this place and you are trying to double dip the system.
