Sanka Delayne Perry, a 43-year-old African American woman, was found with unknown injuries on February 4, 2021, in the 300 block of Avalon Road in Greensboro, North Carolina. Police responded to an around-midnight 911 unknown call and transported Perry to a local hospital, where she later died; the precise nature of her injuries and the cause of death were not immediately clear and remained under investigation.

In the days after Perry’s death, the Greensboro Police Department’s Violent Criminal Apprehension Team arrested 32-year-old Noland Lloyd Coles III of Greensboro. Coles was charged with first-degree murder, possession of a firearm by a felon, felony breaking and entering, and first-degree kidnapping, and was held in the Guilford County Jail without bail. Authorities said Coles was linked to the crime scene; motives had not been disclosed.
