Christopher Steven Young, 28, was shot on the evening of October 6, 2018, on Bernau Avenue in Greensboro and died of his injuries at a hospital on October 7, 2018. Born December 8, 1989, in Winston-Salem, he graduated from North Carolina A&T State University with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science on his 23rd birthday and worked at BB&T in Greensboro. He was active in educational organizations, played basketball and mentored several young men.

The case proved difficult to solve in the months after the killing; Crime Stoppers posted rewards and the family appealed for information. On September 24, 2020, police obtained a first-degree murder arrest warrant for Malcolm Jamar Blowe, then 29 and from Virginia Beach, and he was arrested in Norfolk, Virginia, on October 1, 2020. Christopher’s mother Cynthia Diane Young and mentor John Prince Williams were among those left grieving.

If anyone knew Christopher, saw activity on Bernau Avenue that night, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
