A Creedmoor neighborhood was rocked by a fatal shooting on July 25, 2026. Emergency responders found 28-year-old Charles Tryon Royster Jr. inside a home on Irving Place around 4:15 p.m. with multiple gunshot wounds. He received medical attention at the scene but was pronounced dead.

Within days police arrested 38-year-old Kelly Marie Royster, identified by authorities as the victim’s wife. She was charged with murder and held without bond at the Granville County Detention Center. Officials have not released details about what led to the shooting and describe the investigation as active.

Royster Jr. is remembered by family as a father, son, brother, member of Lattisville Grove Missionary Baptist Church and an employee at Sunrock Industries. The case is pending in the Granville County courts. Does anyone have information about the events on Irving Place that afternoon?
