CLAYTON, N.C. (WTVD) -- Town and state officials are offering a $10,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest in the 2016 murder of a Clayton man.

Around 1 a.m. on Saturday, July 6, 24-year-old Garrett Howard Bridges was shot and killed after two suspects entered his home on Herndon Court.

His incentive is being paired with $5,000 from Clayton police.

Officers are continuing to investigate with the State Bureau of Investigation.

Those with information are asked to call Clayton police at (919) 553-4611, the NC State Bureau of Investigation at (919) 662-4500, or detective J.P. Linder at (919) 553-0158.
