On May 6, 2024, 25-year-old Tyrel Emmit Minor was fatally shot inside an apartment on Holden Drive in Greenville, North Carolina. Police responded to reports of gunfire shortly after 5:00 p.m. and found Minor deceased from a gunshot wound. His wife, 30-year-old Khadijah Edwards, was at the scene and taken into custody. Investigators say the shooting stemmed from a prior altercation between Minor and Edwards; Edwards was charged with murder and held at the Pitt County Detention Center on a $2 million bond.

Earlier the same year, on January 21, 2024, Minor was arrested during a traffic stop in Chocowinity after deputies found two stolen firearms and a small amount of marijuana in his vehicle. He faced charges including two counts of felony possession of a stolen firearm, two counts of carrying a concealed weapon, and driving while his license was revoked, and was released on a $10,000 secured bond. The shooting underscores ongoing concerns about gun-related incidents in Greenville.
