Kate-Lynn Hope Simmons was 18 and a student at Southeast Guilford High School when she was shot and later died on June 4, 2017. Officers responded that night to an aggravated assault with a gun on Lees Chapel Road in Greensboro and found her with a gunshot wound; she was transported to Cone Health and later succumbed to her injuries. Reports place the shooting outside North Winds Apartments.

Greensboro Police believe Kate-Lynn was not alone that night but investigators have been unable to obtain a clear account of what happened. The case remains unsolved; a reward for information leading to arrest and conviction has been raised to $25,000, announced by Governor Roy Cooper. Family, friends and police have held vigils and circulated Crime Stoppers flyers seeking leads.

If anyone knew Kate-Lynn, was with her that night, or has information about activity around North Winds Apartments on June 4, 2017, please contact the Greensboro Police Department.
