Two Black people were being held in the Warrenton jail when a mob took them out early on January 24, 1921, and lynched them, according to the Ocala Evening Star. The paper linked the killings to a race clash at Norlina the Sunday before. Both were held at the jail when the mob took them, and the killings are recorded as a lynching from custody.
