Emanuel Lee Alexander, a 52-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on January 23, 2018, in Greensboro, North Carolina. He and his wife, Wanda Annette Alexander, had driven to the 1700 block of Fairfax Road for a pre-arranged meeting when a man began shooting at them. Emanuel suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Wanda was also shot several times in the face and torso, but managed to get help from a nearby resident and was taken to a hospital in critical condition.

Authorities arrested Lee Ernest Curry, a 24-year-old man, in Alabama; he was charged with first-degree murder, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury, and robbery with a dangerous weapon. Curry was held in the Butler County Jail in Alabama awaiting extradition to North Carolina. Emanuel’s son, Emanuel Alexander III, spoke about his grief and the toll the killing has taken on the family. The motive and any connections between the suspect and the victims remain under investigation.
