RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - A pair of North Carolina men sentenced to life sentences for first-degree murders committed when they were teenagers will soon be free on parole.
The state parole commission said Monday it will release 41-year-old Joshua Gibson on July 1. No date was given for 61-year-old Gary Goldman’s parole.
Gibson was 15 when he leaned out of a pickup in Mecklenburg County and shot a man arguing with his friend about a woman. Gibson tracked the wounded Travis Runyan into woods and shot him in the head at close range in 1993.
