RALEIGH NC June 4 2013 -- Warrants released in the murder of a mother in North Hills last month reveal how the suspects in her death may have been captured.
Melissa Huggins-Jones was found beaten to death by her 8-year-old daughter on May 14 at their apartment in Raleigh's North Hills community.
Ronald Lee Anthony Jr., 23, Travian Devonte Smith, 20, and Sarah Rene Redden, 18, are accused of killing the 30-year-old mother of two.
The trio, who are currently behind bars, may have been caught after posting a stolen laptop on Craigslist, according to search warrants. It's unclear if the laptop was Huggins-Jones' or a neighbors who's apartment was also broken into.
The warrants also revealed a fourth man who may have been associated with selling the device.
Authorities have said that it appeared there was no connection between Huggins-Jones and the suspects before the crime.
Investigators are still unsure about was used to kill the mother, but have determined that it was violent.
Huggins-Jones would have turned 31 on May 21. She had just moved to Raleigh two weeks earlier from Cleveland, Tenn. for a new job and a fresh start. Huggins-Jones was originally from Elizabethtown in Bladen County.
