On August 16, 2023 Tennessee deputies with the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office served Nicholas “Nico” Chino Ayodoro, 31, of Willis Mobile Home Park, 3114 Bridges St, Morehead City with one open count of Murder following a warrant issued by the Carteret County Sheriff’s Office on August 3, 2023.
Ayodoro was arrested under the alias of Andres Ramirez-Gomez on July 30th following an attempted robbery and car-jacking by knifepoint that occurred at a gas station in Tennessee.
On August 4, 2023 Carteret County Sheriff’s deputies arrested Margarita Ramon Campos, 43, also of Willis MHP, Morehead City for one count of Accessory After the Fact of Murder.
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.
