Jordan Anthony Gabriel was 21 when he was shot and killed on July 27, 2018, near a Food Lion on Somerset Center Drive in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He was found in a car with a gunshot wound to his stomach, was taken to the hospital and later died. Police determined the shooting was not random and that Gabriel had been targeted.

Investigators say the confrontation grew out of a dispute over a drug deal. Gabriel and 23-year-old Charlie Andrew Goldsmith arranged to meet in the grocery store parking lot; Gabriel told Goldsmith he did not have the marijuana, Goldsmith refused to pay without seeing the drugs, and the argument escalated. Gabriel was shot in the chest and, despite his injury, drove to a nearby gas station where officers tried to save him before he was transported to the hospital.

Goldsmith was arrested and initially charged with first-degree murder; he later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and received an 18- to 22-year prison sentence. Does anyone have information about that parking lot meeting or witnessed the events on Somerset Center Drive that day?
