Dontrell Warren was 21 when he was shot and killed on October 18, 2017, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He was walking up the steps to his family’s front porch on E. 23rd Street when he was shot four times in the back; he was taken to a hospital and later died. His mother, Antoinette Warren, described trying to reach him but being held back by another child because gunfire was still ongoing.

Investigators later determined Warren had been returning from a convenience store with a friend when an attempted robbery occurred. Reports say a man armed with a rifle shot Warren in the back and then fled. The killing left the family devastated; they described Dontrell as a loving son, a dedicated father and a light in their lives.

Does anyone who knew Dontrell or who was in the E. 23rd Street area that night have information that could help fill in what happened?
