SALISBURY — The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office is searching for a suspect in the shooting death of a man at a home on Gheen Road on Friday afternoon.

A distraught woman called 911 at 3:37 p.m. Friday and said someone had been shot at 1270 Gheen Road, then hung up, the Sheriff’s Office said.

A deputy was close to the address at the time and arrived within minutes. The deputy found Gregory Yarborough, 21, of Hope Hill Road, with multiple gunshot wounds.
