Friends and family say that a guy from Roxboro was shot and killed over the weekend, the day of his wedding.
Tyrek Burton, 37, was found dead in the parking lot of the Barber Park Events Center at 1502 Barber Park Drive in Greensboro on Saturday night.
Someone in Burton’s family said he was shot a few hours after marrying Kiara Holloway, whose family is from Person County, on Saturday.
Broadcastify, a service that listens in on radio calls between dispatchers and first responders, says Burton may have been shot 15 times.
Nysheria Holloway, Burton’s sister-in-law, spoke out about the terrible event.
“Why on the day of the wedding?” Why him? “Just why, why, why?” Holloway told him.
“He took on the role of father figure for my two oldest nieces when their dad was not around.” After getting a safe job and moving them out of Roxboro, he was building a future with my sister.
She also said that the man and his wife lived in Greensboro but met while they were kids in Roxboro. They had been together for 16 years.
As of Monday, the police had not yet released any information about possible culprits or a reason for the crime.
The killing on Saturday was the 32nd murder in Greensboro this year.
