Kyle Rayshawn Means, 45, was shot and killed while working an overnight security shift at an electronic gaming business on the 1600 block of Phillips Avenue in Greensboro. The shooting occurred just after 12:45 a.m. on July 28, 2025. Responding officers found him gravely wounded; he was transported to a local hospital and later died of his injuries. Police reclassified the incident as a homicide and later identified him.

The business entrance displayed a police notice about North Carolina’s ban on electronic sweepstakes machines the evening after the killing. Family and friends remembered Means as a protector, a man of faith who loved dogs and a longtime security worker. A memorial and a balloon release were held on Phillips Avenue and his obituary invited mourners to a celebration of life at Faith Tabernacle of Praise.

Detectives have not released a motive, named a suspect, or announced arrests; anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers. Did anyone in the area see or hear anything that night?
