Joe Norman Skipper Parker Jr., 19, was found shot in his truck off NC-68 near Airport Parkway in Greensboro, North Carolina, on August 2, 1996. The scene first looked like a traffic accident, but investigators later discovered bullet holes in the vehicle, establishing that he had been shot.

Skipper had been working at the Greensboro UPS facility and had recently told his mother he planned to quit and return to college. His life was taken just hours after that conversation. The Greensboro Police Department keeps the case open and the Parker family hopes new leads and forensic advances could produce answers; a $5,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to an arrest.

If anyone knew Skipper’s movements that evening or saw anything near NC-68 and Airport Parkway on August 2, 1996, please come forward.
