On the evening of March 26, 2024, a shooting on Vance Street in Greensboro left 71-year-old Robert Franklin Wright dead. Wright, a Greensboro native and U.S. Army veteran known as Frank, was sitting in a parked car with his wife and their toddler grandchild when an assailant opened fire. Wright died at the scene; his wife suffered non-life-threatening injuries and the toddler was critically injured but listed in stable condition.

Neighbors reported hearing roughly 10 to 12 shots and then a child crying. Residents rushed to assist and described the neighborhood as typically quiet, expressing shock at the violence. Investigators say they do not believe the shooting was random, but as of the latest update no suspects have been identified and no arrests have been announced. Police ask anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers at 336-373-1000.

Does anyone have information about that night or remember seeing anything on Vance Street around 10 p.m. on March 26 that could help investigators?
