Soldier Won’t Be Charged In Shooting

Hey folks, let’s talk about a story that’s as complex as it is concerning—a tale of an encounter that ended in tragedy, and now it’s raising serious questions about national security, business practices, and the mysterious connections to foreign entities.

It all started on a quiet evening in early May in Carthage, North Carolina. A Special Forces soldier, based at Fort Liberty, noticed a stranger on his property taking photos near his home. The man, later identified as 34-year-old Ramzan Daraev, wasn’t just a passerby—he was working, or so it was claimed, as a surveyor for a utility subcontractor.

But the situation quickly escalated when Daraev reportedly became aggressive after the soldier asked him to leave. The soldier’s wife, who had initially spotted Daraev, called 911 twice, reporting that this unknown man was becoming increasingly hostile.

The confrontation took a deadly turn after about 20 minutes of waiting for law enforcement, during which the soldier retrieved a handgun from his home for protection. According to reports, Daraev lunged at the soldier several times, and in response, the soldier fired multiple shots, killing him.

The Moore County Sheriff’s Office later announced that no charges would be filed against the soldier, citing North Carolina’s Castle Doctrine, which allows homeowners to use deadly force if they feel threatened on their property.

But here’s where things get really intriguing. When authorities searched Daraev’s vehicle, they didn’t find any typical utility worker gear—no equipment, no uniforms, nothing to identify him as being on legitimate business, except for an international driver’s license and a cell phone. Daraev, a Russian national from Chechnya, had entered the U.S. through the southern border just five months earlier, raising eyebrows about his background and intentions.

The company Daraev worked for, Cable Warriors, is a subcontractor for Utilities One, which is involved in expanding fiber optic infrastructure in the area. But there’s more to this story. Cable Warriors was recently established by someone with a rather unusual background—a former cashier with a six-year employment gap before founding the company.

The main contractor, Utilities One, has its own connections to Eastern Europe, with ties to Moldova and Russia. Even more suspicious, some of the digital infrastructure maps used by these workers were sourced from a Russian cloud server, adding another layer of complexity and concern.

Authorities, including federal and military agencies, are digging deeper into these connections, trying to understand the full scope of Daraev’s activities and the nature of the photos he was taking. Investigators have struggled to access Daraev’s phone, which might hold the key to unraveling what he was really up to. In the meantime, OSHA has been called in to investigate potential violations by the companies involved, especially given the dangerous and unorthodox practices of sending workers out at dusk without proper identification or safety gear.
