On August 2, 2024, at about 9:17 a.m., officers from the Goldsboro Police Department responded to a shooting at 308 N. Kornegay Street and found 23-year-old Nymirra J. Bynum inside the residence with an apparent gunshot wound. Emergency personnel pronounced Bynum deceased at the scene. Initial investigation classified the incident as a domestic homicide involving Bynum and a known male offender.

Investigators named 21-year-old Jaalin Dasani Applewhite of Goldsboro as the primary suspect and issued a wanted advisory describing him as armed and dangerous and noting he suffers from a seizure disorder. Law enforcement continued to seek public tips and provided contact information for Investigator R. Gardner and the North Carolina SBI Fugitive and Missing Person Task Force, and accepted anonymous Crimestoppers leads. A funeral was arranged for Bynum, who was originally from Wilson and living in Goldsboro at the time of her death.

If anyone has information about the shooting or knew Nymirra, please share what you know with the investigators listed.
