Lt. Denise Harris-Powell said the day-long investigation of the death of Joshua T. Roberts, 20, of Quarterdeck Apartment 83, River Bend, concluded that the self-inflicted wound to Roberts' head was the result of horseplay. "The victim was in possession of a weapon that was kept in the business for protection," said W. David McFadyen Jr., Craven County district attorney. "It fired, striking him one time, resulting in his death."Posted by stupefied
