This violence comes on the heels of the Greensboro Police Department’s press conference Monday, pleading for the community’s help to stop the rash of shootings.
"The people carrying guns, willing to shoot people, they didn’t just wake up one day like this," Chief Brian James said. "There are some things that happened leading up to this. This is not just a police thing this is a community thing and we have to figure out what's going on there."
But Chief James said he’s also looking internally to see what the department can do better now that the city has reached an all-time high for homicides in a year: 57.
"We do have to look at do we actually have enough police resources for a city this size and we really have to examine that."
Police are looking for a gray car in connection with Gibson's killing but are not releasing suspect information at this time.
Anyone with information about the shooting should call Greensboro Crime Stoppers at 336-373-1000.
