A 33-year-old man was shot and killed in a commercial area of Greensboro on the night of Tuesday, December 2, 2025. Officers were sent to the 1700 block of Battleground Avenue, near the merge with Lawndale Drive, after emergency calls reporting gunfire. First responders arrived at about 9:53 p.m. and found Robert Lamont King Jr. inside a vehicle in a parking lot with multiple gunshot wounds to his torso. Emergency personnel attempted life-saving measures, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses said the shooting happened outside in the parking area rather than inside any nearby business. By late December 2025 there had been no arrest, and detectives had not released suspect or vehicle descriptions; this was Greensboro’s 37th homicide for the year. Anyone who saw the incident or has information about what led to the shooting is asked to contact Crime Stoppers.
