Michael Lovett, 35, was shot and later died after a crash in Greensboro, North Carolina. He was found with a gunshot wound after his 2015 BMW 535i struck a utility pole on East Market Street; he was taken to Moses Cone Hospital in critical condition and died two days later. Investigators determined a bullet passed through the BMW door and that the shooting was the cause of death. The family believes he was shot on Old Burlington Road in the early hours of October 8, 2015. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved; in 2017 Governor Roy Cooper announced a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

Lovett was a father of three teenagers, a manager at Reynolds American and a Greensboro native who attended Dudley High School. If anyone knew Michael, saw his BMW that night, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
