Anthony Kristopher King, a 20-year-old Black man, was found dead on October 8, 2020, on Cannan Forest Road in Greensboro. Deputies from the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office who responded to a call about a possible assault discovered King deceased from obvious traumatic injuries, and investigators have classified his death as a homicide.

The case took years of work and community tips to advance. Investigators say they received multiple anonymous leads through Crime Stoppers that helped the probe. King’s mother, Kristy King, described him as her best friend and said the family continues to grieve the loss of a good-hearted son.

The Guilford County Sheriff’s Office is still seeking information related to the homicide. If anyone knew Anthony, saw activity on or near Cannan Forest Road on October 8, 2020, or has other relevant information, please come forward.
