Alan Lopez, 18, was among three people killed in a shooting outside a home in the 900 block of Cameron Avenue in Winston-Salem just before 1:40 a.m. on August 2, 2025. Officers and EMS pronounced Lopez dead at the scene along with 17‑year‑old Destiny Quiterio‑Avila and 23‑year‑old Kelsea Perkins after a late‑night gathering in the East Winston neighborhood turned violent.

Police have said shots were fired during the gathering but had not determined what led to the volley that killed Lopez and the two others. As of early August 2025 no arrests or suspect descriptions had been announced and detectives were actively processing the scene and following leads. The community has held remembrances and organized support for funeral arrangements while officials continue to request tips.

If anyone was at the gathering or has information about what happened that night near 12th Street and Cameron Avenue, please share what you know with investigators.
