Deanthony J Little, a 17-year-old from High Point, North Carolina, was shot in the head and killed on September 15, 2019. Officers responding to reports of gunfire around 10 p.m. at Brentwood Street and Nathan Hunt Drive found him lying in the roadway; he was taken to a hospital and later died. He had attended High Point Central High School until 2018 but did not graduate.

On the night of the shooting Deanthony was in a car with 17-year-old Khasi L. Gladden and 20-year-old Kameron L. Turner. An argument with occupants of another vehicle reportedly led to an exchange of gunfire between the cars. Gladden and Turner suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds; both were treated at hospitals and Gladden was later taken into custody on outstanding warrants. Police recovered a silver Hyundai with a large amount of blood and a handgun inside, and another firearm was found on the 300 block of Lawndale Avenue.

Police identified 24-year-old Isaiah E. Rorie as a suspect; he turned himself in and was charged with first-degree murder in Deanthony’s death and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury with intent to kill. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the High Point Police Department or Crime Stoppers of High Point.?
