Michael Jerome Potts was 46 and from Greensboro, North Carolina, when he was shot on July 19, 2018. He was taken to a hospital but died of his injuries; the death was classified as a homicide and the Greensboro Police Department opened an investigation.

Police determined Potts was a victim of gun violence and sought evidence and witnesses to identify suspects. The investigation struggled for lack of community cooperation and concrete leads, and no arrests or suspect identifications have been reported.

The case underscores concerns about gun violence in Greensboro and the difficulty families face when cases go cold. Anyone with information about Michael Potts or the shooting is asked to contact investigators.
