FORSYTH COUNTY, N.C. (WGHP) — Deputies are investigating after reports of a masked, armed person led them to find someone who had been shot and killed.
Forsyth County Sheriff's Office says they are currently investigating a homicide on Kerner Road. Just before 10 p.m. on Tuesday, they were called about a person walking down the road that seemed to be wearing a mask and holding a gun.
Someone else called to report that they'd heard gunshots in that same area.
A deputy got to the area and found a person who matched the previous description, later identified as Quay'mon Nicholas Swaringen, and he gave the deputy his gun without incident and he was taken into custody for questioning.
Other deputies searched the area and found Christian Lee Arrington, 21, of Greensboro, who had been shot. Despite life-saving measures, he died from his injuries.
Swaringen was charged with murder and given no bond.
The sheriff's office said that they believed this was not a random incident.
“We send our condolences to the family, the loved ones, the friends who are grieving at this time. This is yet another young life lost to gun violence in our community. We must come together as a community to do better and to be better. We must take care of one another.” Sheriff Bobby F. Kimbrough, Jr. said.
