Chapel Hill Police have arrested 21-year-old Keon Tramel Council for the murder of Mark David Stiles last Thursday.
Authorities responded to a shooting near the J building of Camelot Village Apartments just across from University Place on Estes Drive around 7:30 p.m. Thursday. The victim – later identified as Stiles – was taken to UNC Hospitals with several gunshot wounds and he died on Friday morning.
Officials then stated that they were investigating the incident as a homicide.
“I am grateful for the tireless efforts of our investigators who worked around the clock this weekend to identify and capture the suspect,” Chapel Hill Police Chief Chris Blue said in a statement Tuesday. “I am grateful to all the people who helped us get a dangerous person off the streets of our community.”
Council was transported to Orange County Jail and was scheduled to make his first court appearance Tuesday afternoon. The Herald-Sun is reporting Council’s bond was raised from $1,250,000 to $2 million secured bond.
Authorities believe this incident to be the result of a dispute between Council and Stiles and that there is no further threat to the community.
Is he related to Mildred Council, formerly of Mama Dip’s?
