Dennis Logan was 30 when he was fatally shot outside his residence at 2121-B Byrd Street in Greensboro, North Carolina, on July 17, 2017. The shooting occurred about 10:30 p.m. and was described as stemming from a neighborhood dispute.

Born October 18, 1986, in Danville, Virginia, he was the son of Dennis Poole and Tonya Logan, married to Marquata Logan, and father to four children: Ziquan Watkins, Faith Logan, De'Monta Logan, and Ariel Logan. A graduate of George Washington High School, he was remembered by family as independent, fond of spending time with nieces and nephews, and someone who often wore a smile.

Authorities said Dennis Logan and 24-year-old Tyrief Edward Patterson knew each other. Patterson was arrested after a brief standoff at a home on West Florida Street and charged with first-degree murder; tips from the community helped lead to his identification and capture.
