Dylan Lopez was 14 when he was shot during a drive-by on August 1, 2020, on Utah Drive in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Witnesses reported a car drove through the area and began firing at Dylan, another 14-year-old boy, Jesus Candela-Abonza, and others present. Multiple rounds were fired and several shell casings were recovered. Dylan was taken to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center and died later that night.

The investigation resulted in the arrest of two 17-year-old suspects. One was charged with accessory after the fact to a felony on August 6, 2020; the other was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and was placed in the custody of the North Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice. No names of the suspects were released because of their age. Witness cooperation was limited, which investigators said constrained the case.

Does anyone have information about Dylan, the shooting that night, or the Utah Drive area that could help clarify what happened?
