Anterrion Spencer, 20, died of a gunshot wound after arriving at UNC Rockingham Health Care in Eden on April 8, 2026. He succumbed to his injuries at the hospital and the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office took over the investigation after it was determined the shooting occurred in their jurisdiction.

Authorities identified and arrested several suspects. Daniel Ian Woods Jr., 25, was charged with second-degree murder. Two other men, Tristian Giles and Sincere Jamison, were also taken into custody on multiple felony charges that include possession with intent to sell and deliver a Schedule VI controlled substance and possession of a weapon of mass destruction. Giles surrendered to the sheriff’s office and was held on a $110,000 secured bond; Jamison was apprehended in Martinsville, Virginia, and held without bond.

At a court appearance for Woods, his attorney said Woods and two others had arranged to meet for the sale of an Apple iPod and that Spencer allegedly attempted to rob Woods at gunpoint, prompting Woods to flee, draw a weapon, and shoot Spencer. The investigation involved the Eden Police Department, the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office, the Henry County Sheriff’s Office, and the State Bureau of Investigation. Spencer, born October 11, 2005, was a 2024 Martinsville High School graduate who loved cooking; he is survived by his parents, siblings, grandparents, and his girlfriend.

Did anyone know Spencer or have information about the circumstances of the April 8 incident?
