Florwer Carlin Lizano | Man accused of killing Waffle House employee Burlie Dawson Locklear in NC arrested 4 months later

LAURINBURG, N.C. — After four months a man wanted for murdering a Waffle House employee in North Carolina was arrested in Virginia.

“It brought me a sense of relief. Finally, we can find some solace. The nights were difficult, knowing he was still at large,” expressed Megan Locklear, a relative of the victim.

Police say the 38-year-old shot and killed a Waffle House employee in Scotland County in September 2024.

Florwer Carlin Lizano will be brought back to Laurinburg to face charges in the death of 18-year-old Burlie Dawson Locklear.

Locklear was a cook at the Waffle House when police said Lizano had come to the restaurant.

Officers said Lizano got upset when his order was taking too long and fired shots, hitting Locklear who later died at the hospital.

His family is relieved there is finally an arrest.

“I was filled with happiness. Although it won’t bring Dawson back, it does offer some consolation. It might help me rest easier at night,” shared Danara Locklear, another relative of the victim.

Lizano remains behind bars in Virginia.

He could be extradited to Laurinburg within the next 10 days.
