Phillip Davone Troublefield, 32, was shot and killed on the evening of November 22, 2021, in Warsaw, North Carolina. Known as Stacks, Troublefield was a tattoo artist and entrepreneur who founded a clothing line called Born Rejects. He was born January 23, 1989, in Prince George’s County, Maryland, to Katrina D. Wilson and the late Michael Smith.

Phillip and another adult, Debbie Castillo Cortez, were found dead from gunshot wounds near the intersection of Yancey Street and Matthews Street at about 7:45 p.m. Two juveniles were also wounded in the same shooting and survived. The Warsaw Police Department, with help from the North Carolina Bureau of Investigation, is handling the case; no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified.

Phillip is survived by his mother, Katrina Wilson; his children Zymir, Chance, A’Shad, Carma, and Legaci Troublefield; and a large extended family. Neighbors reported hearing gunfire that night and one resident said a bullet entered her living room, forcing her and her daughter to take cover.

Did anyone in the area that night see or hear anything that could help investigators?
