Dante Wyse, 23, of Winston-Salem was found dead on the porch of an apartment in Thomasville on February 2, 2025. Thomasville officers responded about 7:15 a.m. for a report of a possible breaking and entering and discovered Wyse had suffered multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene and the incident is being investigated as a homicide.

Investigators determined the shooting was not random and identified 24-year-old Caleb Mitchell of Greensboro as the suspect. Mitchell and Wyse were known to each other, though authorities have not described the nature of their relationship. Initial suggestions of a break-in were later ruled out by investigators.

Mitchell turned himself in several days after the shooting and was charged with murder; he was held without bond at the Davidson County Jail and was scheduled for a first court appearance on June 11, 2025. The Thomasville Police Department asks anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone knew Dante or has information about his movements or his connection to Caleb Mitchell, please share what you know.
