North Carolina authorities have arrested a Greenville-based real estate agent while investigating a triple homicide and four different crime scenes.

David Hansen Lever, 55, is charged with three counts of murder in connection to the homicides, according to the Pitt County Sheriff’s Office. Police arrested Lever after the son of two of the victims held him at gunpoint.

The investigation began on Jan. 10 when detectives located the three homicide victims with gunshot wounds. 

“As a result of interviews and evidence collected at each scene, the preliminary investigation reveals the incidents are related, however, this is an active investigation,” the sheriff’s office said in a Saturday press release.

Lever was apparently a partner at Lever & Russel Real Estate LLC in Greenville, according to the company’s website, which lists him as a broker and agent. County estate records show the company owned multiple properties.
