Nashawn Sanders, a 32-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on April 15, 2021, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He was walking with a group on Piedmont Circle when a vehicle drove by and someone inside fired into the crowd; Sanders was struck and later died at the hospital. A 24-year-old man, Taekwon Watson, was also wounded and survived after treatment. The shooting was described as a drive-by from a gold-colored vehicle. The Winston-Salem Police Department has not released suspects or a motive; authorities asked the public for information.

Sanders was remembered as generous and active in community outreach, often treating children to ice cream. He is survived by his parents, Wilbert Earl Carmichael and Paulette Elaine Sanders, siblings and other relatives. Does anyone who was in the area that night or who knew Nashawn have information that could help investigators?
