Dwayne Wiggins, a 29-year-old African American man, was killed on January 24, 2020, at the Citgo gas station at West 5th Street and Memorial Drive in Greenville, North Carolina. Police responded to a Shot Spotter alert shortly after 1:00 a.m. and found Wiggins in the station parking lot with an apparent gunshot wound.

Investigators say 27-year-old James Lee Freeman Jr., an African American man from Farmville, North Carolina, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with Wiggins’ death. Police reported the two were known to each other; motive remains under investigation. Multiple agencies assisted in the arrest and investigation, including Greenville Police Department units, the SBI Fugitive and Missing Person Task Force, and county sheriff’s offices.

Family and community members have expressed shock and grief and called for justice. Does anyone have information about what happened that night or about Wiggins’ activities in Greenville leading up to January 24, 2020?
