Keyeon Garner was a 15-year-old African American male shot dead on August 4, 2014, in Weldon, North Carolina. He was walking with a group near 11th Avenue and Maple Street Extension when two men came out of the woods and opened fire; two others with him were wounded. Reports describe the attack as targeted rather than random.

Investigators arrested 19-year-old Semaj Tojuan Clanton of Garysburg, who surrendered three days after the shooting and was charged with first-degree murder. Authorities also identified 18-year-old Teddy Keith Anderson Jr. as a suspect; he was apprehended on Long Island and charged with first-degree murder, two counts of attempted murder, and multiple drug-related offenses.

Less than 12 hours after Keyeon’s killing, four men — Jamonte Lamoncion Moody, Semajs Short, William David Cook, and Victor Mallory — were arrested and charged in a retaliatory shooting that killed 2-year-old Dyana Anderson and wounded her grandmother, Catherine Price. The community cited gang violence, drugs, and lack of opportunities as contributing concerns. Does anyone have information about Keyeon, his friends that night, or the area around 11th Avenue and Maple Street Extension?
