On the night of April 6, 2024, at about 11:23 p.m., Greensboro officers responded to an assault and shooting in the 3800 block of Belhaven Drive. Officers saw an armed man retreating into woods at the dead end; a K-9 unit and drone located the man, identified as 78-year-old Larry Wendell Hilliard, who surrendered and was taken into custody. Inside the home officers found 56-year-old Larry Todd Hilliard with a fatal gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Subsequent reports say the victim was the suspect’s son and that Larry Wendell Hilliard was charged with first-degree murder and assault by pointing a gun and booked into the Guilford County Jail without bond. Neighbors described the elder Hilliard as a really nice guy and said the normally tranquil Belhaven neighborhood was shaken by the shooting. No motive or information about the suspect’s mental state has been released and the investigation remains active.

Does anyone have information about the family or that night that could help investigators?
