RALEIGH, North Carolina (WTVD) -- The Raleigh Police Department said Tuesday it has charged two more people in the June 23 murder of former ECU football player Anthony Domonique Lennon.

The 24-year-old was found shot to death in the parking lot of the Bahama Breeze restaurant on Wake Forest Road.

Detectives have charged 33-year-old Ashanti Rahdee Bennett with murder and 22-year-old Jamar Vick Allen with conspiracy to commit murder.

Last month, police said 25-year-old Wantavius Burney Jackson of Kinston and 25-year-old Clifton Jason Spellman III of Greenville also face murder conspiracy charges in the case.
