Kelsea Perkins, 23, was shot and killed on August 2, 2025, on the 900 block of Cameron Avenue in Winston-Salem. Police were called just before 1:40 a.m.; officers found three people with gunshot wounds outside a home where a gathering or party had taken place. All three victims, including Perkins, were pronounced dead at the scene. The other victims were identified as Destiny Quiterio-Avila, 17, and Alan Lopez, 18.

Family members remembered Perkins as kind and full of life; she had recently earned a nursing certification and was preparing to build her career. Authorities described the violence as part of a violent weekend in the city and appealed for community cooperation. Investigators said they had not announced any arrests and had not ruled out gang involvement based on evidence gathered. Police asked anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers.
