The charges result from a June 25th stabbing that occurred during a fight between Ayodoro and the victim, 40-year-old Angel Jhonny Perez De Los Santos, outside his home in Country Pines Mobile Home Park, 516 Broad Creek Loop Rd in the Broad Creek community of Newport.

During the fight De Los Santos was stabbed three times in the torso. Following the fight the victim was transported to Naval Medical Center on Camp Lejeune and then airlifted to New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington where he remained hospitalized in critical condition. Detectives say Ayodoro fled North Carolina with the assistance of Campos after the incident. On July 13, 2023 De Los Santos succumbed to his injuries.

Extradition arrangements are underway for Ayodoro to be transported back to North Carolina. Campos remains in the Carteret County Jail with no bond.
