On May 25, 2024, at about 4:38 p.m., Greensboro police responded to a reported shooting at Kenneth Road and Nandina Drive and found 23-year-old Jayard Khali Amir Little inside a vehicle with a gunshot wound. Despite life-saving efforts by EMS, Little, a Winston-Salem resident, was pronounced dead at the scene. The Greensboro Police Department opened a homicide investigation and processed the scene; detectives have determined foul play was involved but no arrests or public suspect identifications have been announced.

Little had begun working in February 2024 as a teacher assistant in the Exceptional Children’s Program at High Point Central High School. A graduate of Guilford College and Atkins High School, he was remembered by friends and family for his athleticism, his smile, his love of football and his dogs, and the positive impact he had on students in the Adapted Curriculum setting. Neighbors reported hearing a loud gunshot and seeing two people run from the area, increasing concern in the Lenox Park Commons neighborhood.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Greensboro/Guilford Crime Stoppers at 336-373-1000 if they can help with the investigation.
