GREENSBORO, N.C. — Greensboro police identified a man who was shot and killed on Luray Drive.
Police said they are now investigating 30-year-old James White's death as a homicide. No suspects have been identified.
Officers responded to the 1700 block of Luray Drive near Florida Street around 7:45 a.m. Monday morning. That's where they found White suffering from serious injuries. He did not survive.
Neighbors in the area told WFMY News 2 crews they heard several shots fired Sunday night while watching football.
While many of them didn't want to go on camera because of safety concerns, they said they could feel the vibration of the gun when it went off.
T'Erick Gilbert lives close by. He says the area is riddled with crime and it makes him want to pick up and move his family.
"I unfortunately have to get back to work and my son is homeschooled. So, I am going to have to leave him here to go back to work in hopes that a bullet doesn't come through the window or violence doesn't overtake my household," Gilbert explained.
Police blocked off a section of Luray Drive and Freeman Mill Shopping Center in front of Florida Mart while they investigated.
James R. Butler Sr. owns businesses beside the opposite end of the shopping center.
He's been in the area for over 50 years and says they try their best to keep their customers safe and their store untouched.
"Violence is all over everywhere. So, I don't know what it's going to take to fix it, really to tell the truth. I just try to, we try to run a smooth operation, deal with people and hope they deal with us, and we go home at night we got insurance and burglary alarms and all of this, go home and get a nap and come on back to work," Butler recalled.
The cause of the shooting is unknown, and the investigation is ongoing.
