Deveion Lasean Grayson was 18 when he was struck during a mass shooting at the Hillside Garden apartments in Hickory, North Carolina, on June 2, 2022. Investigators say as many as two dozen shots were fired into the complex; several cars and an upstairs apartment window were hit, and three people were shot that day. Grayson suffered a gunshot wound to the head and died a few days later, after the case was upgraded to a murder investigation.

A 19-year-old, Tamoje Daejouir Anderson, was also shot that day, charged with assault with a deadly weapon, and treated at a hospital; he is expected to recover. Police have placed evidence markers around multiple rounds in the parking lot, and the department is asking the public to help identify who fired the shots that killed Grayson. His grandmother has appealed for answers, and neighbors say repeated gun incidents in the area have left them fearful.

If anyone has information about the shooting or who fired the fatal shot, please come forward to the Hickory Police Department.
