On the morning of November 2, 2024, at about 7:55 a.m., Winston-Salem Police responded to a reported shooting at 1449 Peace Court and found 36-year-old Lomark Dean Cameron with a gunshot wound to the upper torso. Officers and emergency medical personnel performed lifesaving efforts, but Cameron was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say Cameron had been at the apartment of his relative, 59-year-old Darrin Leroy Perry, and a verbal dispute turned physical before Perry shot Cameron. Authorities describe the incident as isolated; Perry was arrested at the scene and charged with felony murder and felony possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He was booked into the Forsyth County Law Enforcement Detention Center being held without bond, with an initial court appearance scheduled for November 4, 2024.

Cameron’s family and the Winston-Salem community have been left mourning; an online memorial page has been set up to share condolences and memories. If anyone has information about Cameron or this incident, please come forward.
