Desmond Malik Radford, 22, was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds on March 6, 2022, at Crystal Springs Cemetery in Northwest, North Carolina. He and 29-year-old Demetrius Gibbs were discovered together after Radford’s mother went to check on him following his visit to a friend at the cemetery. Investigators estimate the shootings occurred around 8:30 p.m., about two hours before the bodies were found.

Authorities have said multiple shooters were likely involved. The town of Northwest offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction, and as of initial reports no suspects had been publicly named. Radford worked for DeVane’s HVAC and HLM Construction before moving to Charlotte and taking a job with Amazon. He played drums at Bethel AME Church and is remembered by family and friends for his love of fashion, fast cars, bikes, and music. He is survived by his parents, siblings, and his girlfriend, Nymia Davis, with whom he and his partner were expecting a daughter in summer 2022.

Does anyone who knew Desmond or was in the Northwest area that night have information that could help the investigation?
