Jordan Lee Gwynn, 27, was shot and killed on June 27, 2021, while sitting on a porch on Dan River Church Road in Eden, North Carolina. Two others were also hit in the attack: Alex Michael Grubbs, 29, was killed and a woman was critically injured and taken to a nearby hospital.

Investigators say the gunfire came from the woodline near the home and that they do not believe the shooting was random. Following the incident, 31-year-old Darius Tremayne Brooks of Eden was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted murder, shooting into an occupied dwelling, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon; he was already in the Rockingham County Detention Facility on other charges and was given no bond on these new charges.

The investigation into the double homicide is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Department.
