Nakayla JaHiia Bynes was 16 when she was shot in the head and killed on December 24, 2017, in High Point, North Carolina. She was found at a home on Garrison Street after police responded to a welfare check. Earlier that day a traffic crash in Greensboro led officers to a car whose driver, Philip Coleman, said a passenger had shot himself in the head while they were driving from High Point; that passenger was later identified as Kenneth Odom.

Witnesses said Odom, who was the stepfather of one of the teenagers present at the home, became upset after finding a group of teens there and unexpectedly shot Nakayla in the head. Another teenager tackled Odom after the shooting, allowing others to flee; Odom was taken to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. Authorities obtained a warrant charging Odom with first-degree murder; he remained hospitalized but was expected to face charges after release. Nakayla’s funeral was held January 4, 2018, at St. John United Methodist Church in Greensboro.

Does anyone have information about Nakayla, the Garrison Street home, or the events that night?
