High Point murder suspect was out on bond for another murder charge, police say

High Point police said the man arrested in connection to a deadly home invasion and Kernersville kidnapping has a previous murder charge.

KERNERSVILLE, N.C. — The man accused of shooting and killing someone in a High Point home invasion was out of jail for less than 60 days for another murder charge, according to police. 

Police said 21-year-old  Zyicoren Antonio Little of High Point was arrested and charged with first-degree murder for the deadly shooting at a home on Westdale Drive. 

It happened last Thursday. Police said the suspects kidnapped two people on Old Salem Road in Kernersville, drove to High Point, and shot and killed 27-year-old Kristian Tillman-Little inside the home on Westdale Drive. 

The two people who were inside the car got out and started banging on doors for help. 

Zyicoren Little was also served with two counts of first-degree kidnapping and first-degree burglary from the Kernersville Police Department. 

This is Little's second first-degree murder charge within 16 months. Police said he shot and killed another man at a Walmart in High Point on May 10, 2022. 

Little had been in jail under no bond until August 1, when a bond hearing was granted. 

Cyrus Brown, Senior Assistant District Attorney in High Point, said Little's bond motion was heard in Superior Court on July 31. Judge Craig Croom changed Little's bond to $250,000 despite the state's objection. 

Little posted bond the next day and was released from jail. Two months later, police arrested him for allegedly killing someone in the High Point home invasion.
