Griffin Lyndon Weathers was 17 and a senior at High Point Central High School when he was fatally shot on April 9, 2018, at the Laurel Springs apartments on Turtle Rock Way in High Point, North Carolina. He was found with a gunshot wound to the chest and later died at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. Griffin had been planning to study Exercise Science and Psychology at High Point University and was remembered for his involvement in basketball, football and baseball and for his positive energy and compassion.

Police say the shooting occurred during a drug deal over marijuana. A 17-year-old from the same apartment complex was arrested about four hours later; detectives recovered three guns and other items from that person’s home and charged them with first-degree murder. That person told the court Griffin had punched them twice before the shooting. The community and Griffin’s classmates described the school as unusually quiet after his death, and local groups distributed flyers in the neighborhood to raise awareness and prevent further violence.

Does anyone have information about Griffin, the neighborhood that night, or contacts who might help clarify what happened?
