Cortavious Arrington, 21, was shot and killed on July 21, 2019, outside the Chicken Shack on Hooker Road in Greenville, North Carolina. The shooting followed a fight involving several people who knew one another; a third person opened fire, killing Arrington and wounding 22-year-old C-allah Coombs Jr., who suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

A suspect was taken into custody shortly after the shooting at the City Gas on North Greene Street. At the time authorities released information, the suspect had not been charged while detectives reviewed the facts with the Pitt County District Attorney’s Office. Investigators did not consider the suspect a flight risk or danger to the public and the investigation remained ongoing.

Arrington was remembered by family and friends as a young man full of energy and potential. If anyone has information that could help piece together what happened that night, please come forward.
