LINCOLNTON, N.C. (AP) - Authorities have charged a North Carolina couple in a man’s beating death.

The Lincolnton Police Department told news outlets police officers and emergency personnel dispatched to a parking lot found Christopher Alexander Easter unresponsive Tuesday. A news release from the department said Easter was pronounced dead despite receiving medical treatment for about 20 minutes.
