TreCorious Jahieem Bethea was 15 when he was shot and killed in High Point, North Carolina, on July 13, 2021. Known as Tre, he was born May 19, 2006, to Michon N. Pegues and the late LaTroy R. Bethea. Around 2:15 a.m. that morning, police responded to calls of about 25 shots fired in the 511 block of Radford Street and found Tre'Corious with two gunshot wounds to the chest and one to the arm. He was taken to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, where he died.

Authorities identified 25-year-old Davonte T. Strickland of High Point as the person who fired the shots; Strickland was charged with first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Police said Strickland shot after seeing individuals tampering with a vehicle on his property; three juveniles were arrested on suspicion of attempting to break into vehicles in the area. The investigation questioned whether Strickland genuinely feared for his life when he used the firearm.

Anyone with information about what happened that night or who knew Tre'Corious is asked to come forward.
