Chester Robert Garnes III, a 35-year-old man from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, was fatally shot and later died at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center after being found with multiple gunshot wounds in his home at 2626 Stockton Street on May 10, 2015. Police were called about an armed robbery and arrived at about 3:22 PM; Garnes was located toward the back of the house and taken to the hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

Witnesses reported hearing gunshots and seeing a man with a handgun walk away from the scene, but police did not believe that man was the shooter. A second person, later identified as Garnes’ son, was present in the home during the shooting. Investigators expressed concern the shooter might strike again and asked the community for information; as of this account no arrests have been announced.
