Trenez Valentine was 31 when he died from a shooting on Carsten Avenue in High Point, North Carolina, on August 20, 2018. Police found Valentine and another man, Reshawn Council, with gunshot wounds; Valentine was pronounced dead at the scene and Council was taken to hospital conscious.

Authorities say the shooting was targeted rather than random. A 37-year-old man, Tyree Malcolm Pickenpack, was arrested after being located at a home south of Lexington; the arrest involved the High Point Police Street Crimes Unit, the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office. Pickenpack faces charges linked to Valentine’s death and the shooting of Council.

Valentine’s family and friends continue to grieve. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact investigators.
