Chavez Laquan Vargas, 29, was shot and killed on April 12, 2021, in the McDonald’s parking lot at West Wendover Avenue and Bridford Parkway in Greensboro, North Carolina. He was found near his car with a gunshot wound and later pronounced dead at a local hospital. Witnesses who called 911 reported other people around Vargas’ car just before the shooting; one caller said a girl and a young man were seen interacting with Vargas in his car, then left in another vehicle, and a different caller reported seeing a woman grab something near the car before getting into that same vehicle.

The direction that second car fled was described as unknown, and police had not released suspect information at that time. Subsequent investigations led to arrests: Joshua Lapree Padgett, 32, of Asheboro, was charged with first-degree murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery, and possession of a firearm by a felon. Justin Jones, 21, of Greensboro, and Nicole Angelina Newby, 27, of Greensboro, were charged with first-degree murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and conspiracy to commit robbery; all three were held at the Guilford County Jail without bond.

Does anyone have information about who was at that McDonald’s parking lot that evening or saw the vehicle that left the scene?
