Kalil Drakko Nathaniel Rice, 19, of Winston-Salem was found dead on July 13, 2020, inside an abandoned SUV on Gray Avenue from a gunshot wound to the head. Police reports say the injury occurred during a game of Russian roulette; witnesses stated the wound was self-inflicted after someone in the group suggested playing. The firearm recovered was a semi-automatic handgun, which investigators note would not function like a revolver and would always result in injury or death to the participant.

Five people were in the vehicle when the shooting happened, including Keivaunaugh Cearon Sanders, 19, and James Michael King Jr., 18, both from Winston-Salem. Sanders was arrested on charges of concealment of death and possession of a firearm by a felon. King Jr. faced unrelated charges including interference with an electronic monitoring device, breaking and entering, and larceny tied to the theft of the Kia Sorento where Rice was found. Two juveniles were also in the SUV; their identities were withheld because of their age. Authorities are working with the Medical Examiner’s Office to determine whether the fatal wound is consistent with having been self-inflicted.
