Kemori Kemo Tyrick Booth, 24, was shot just before midnight on July 15, 2024, at 1042 Bellvue Street in Burlington. Officers found him with a single gunshot wound; he was taken to a hospital in Greensboro and died the following day. Investigators say the shooting followed an altercation at his residence with people he knew, and the suspects fled before police arrived.

Two teenagers were later charged in connection with Booth’s death. Nineteen-year-old Chastin Mekhi Moses faces first-degree murder and contributing to the delinquency of a minor and was held without bond at the Alamance County Detention Center. A 16-year-old male was charged with first-degree murder and placed in the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice. Booth was a graduate of Hugh M. Cummings High School and is survived by an 8-month-old daughter; a GoFundMe was created to help with funeral costs and a fund for the child.

The Burlington Police Department is seeking information about the homicide. If anyone has details that could help the investigation, please come forward.
