The Lenoir County Sheriff's Office is actively searching for Samuel Guzman, who remains at large following a domestic violence incident that occurred in Pink Hill, North Carolina. The investigation began on August 22, 2026, when deputies responded to a report of domestic assault at a residence in Pink Hill. During the initial response, law enforcement determined that the suspect had already departed the scene before their arrival. A critical development in the case occurred several hours later when a resident near the incident location discovered a firearm on their property. Deputies confirmed that the recovered weapon had been reported stolen from Carteret County and matched the description of the firearm referenced in the original domestic violence investigation. Following a thorough review of the evidence, deputies secured warrants for Guzman on multiple charges. These charges include felony possession of a stolen firearm, misdemeanor crime of domestic violence, assault on a female, and possession or manufacture of a fraudulent identification. Authorities emphasize that Guzman is still wanted and have not been located as of the time of this report.
