Marshall Overby, 35, of High Point, North Carolina, died on January 25, 2018, after a confrontation in Archdale. The encounter began when a bail bondsman pursued Overby for missing a court appearance and culminated in a fight in the backyard of a Stratford Road home. The bondsman fired a single shot that struck Overby in the torso; Overby was taken to a nearby hospital where he died.

The bondsman told authorities Overby attempted to stab him with a knife, which the bondsman says justified the use of lethal force. Police have not confirmed whether Overby was carrying a knife. The bondsman and a woman who knew Overby were present when officers and EMS arrived, and investigators have been interviewing witnesses and collecting evidence.

No charges have been filed against the bondsman; the District Attorney’s Office will decide whether to press charges once the investigation is complete. Does anyone have information about Overby, the incident on Stratford Road, or witnesses who were there that night?
