BURLINGTON, N.C. — CORRECTION: Burlington police have since issued a correction to the age of the teen killed.
A teen is dead, and a man was injured after a double shooting Thursday night, Burlington police say.
Police said they were called to the 600 block of Center Avenue about a shooting. That's when officers found Tymondre Womack, 17, and Jaleel Alston, 26, with multiple gunshot wounds.
Police said Womack died on the scene.
Alston was taken to a local hospital and has now been released.
Investigation revealed that the shooting was a result of a disturbance between two neighbors.
This investigation is ongoing.
Sgt. Chad Laws is the DARE officer with the Alamance County Sheriff's Office and also the chair of the juvenile crime and prevention council in the county.
He says the council is learning about young lives lost to gun violence, too often.
"We are seeing an increase in juvenile crime as it relates to gun violence, and youth being involved in a crime that involves either the use of a firearm or some other relation to firearms," Sgt. Laws said.
Sgt. Laws said there are lots of resources for youth in Alamance County including a teen court program that keeps juveniles out of the justice system. There's also the Alamance juvenile opportunity bridge, which offers opportunities at Alamance county community college to learn a trade.
