A 14-year-old boy, Clente Dyese Barnes Allen, was shot at a home on Woodside Drive West in Wilson, North Carolina, on the night of March 25, 2026. Officers were called about 8:42 p.m. after reports of gunfire; Clente was found with a gunshot wound, taken to hospital and later transported to a medical facility in Greenville, where he died. Funeral home records list his date of passing as March 26, 2026.

Clente was a student at Forest Hills Middle School. The school notified families, brought in additional counselors, and described the loss as especially painful for classmates, teachers, family, and friends. Police arrested a 15-year-old boy and held him through the Department of Juvenile Justice. Some reports identified the accused as Clente’s older brother; official statements named only a 15-year-old. The suspect faced charges including involuntary manslaughter and possession of a stolen firearm.

Authorities have not released a detailed account of what led up to the shooting, how the juvenile allegedly obtained the gun, or the precise circumstances inside the home when the weapon was fired. Services were scheduled in Wilson with burial at Hamilton Burial Gardens. Does anyone have information about that night or about the Woodside Drive West address?
