On the night of Sunday, March 15, 2026, a house party on Graystone Road in Fayetteville, North Carolina, ended with the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Harryson Anderson. A recent high school graduate and student at Fayetteville Technical Community College, Anderson was at the gathering when an argument broke out. His mother says he was trying to de-escalate the dispute when he was shot multiple times and later died at a local hospital.

The Fayetteville Police Department opened a homicide investigation — the city’s 10th of the year — and asked the public for help, including any videos from the party. Following tips, police identified a suspect and on March 19, 2026 arrested 17-year-old Justice Miller of Fayetteville; court documents allege Miller struck Anderson with a handgun and then shot him twice. Miller, a Grays Creek High School student, is being charged as an adult and is jailed without bond; his first appearance was by video and a judge ordered that hearing kept private because the suspect is a minor.

Anderson’s parents, Julian and Nina Anderson, have expressed profound grief and are calling for justice. If anyone at the Graystone Road party saw what happened or has video, please come forward with information.
