Third Murder Charge for Repeat Offender

A High Point man faces his third murder charge after allegedly stabbing Xavier Martin to death—this time, the suspect, David Scarborough, claims disability and awaits appointed counsel. With a criminal record stretching back to 1986 and including murder, rape, and arson, Scarborough’s history is staggering—he was convicted of second-degree murder in 2017 and served only a fraction of his sentences. Just one week before this latest crime, he was charged with assault and domestic violence while on bond. Officials are weighing habitual felon status, citing early releases tied to the 1980s Fair Sentencing Act. He remains jailed without bond, with his next court date set for July 31.
