On March 8, 2024, at about 1:20 a.m., a shooting at Culture Lounge, 1707 Spring Garden Street in Greensboro, North Carolina, left 33-year-old Mohsin Malik Hamid dead. The same attack also killed 28-year-old Devonte Bernard Johnson and wounded a woman who was taken to hospital in stable condition. About 100 patrons were inside the club when a disturbance led to gunfire. Witnesses said Hamid, who had recently turned 33, tried to help Johnson after the initial shooting and was fatally shot when the assailant returned and fired again.

Greensboro’s mayor noted concerns about nightlife safety after this incident; the club’s lease was subsequently terminated and the venue closed. No arrests had been announced and the suspect or suspects remained unidentified as investigators continued to seek tips. Hamid’s family mourned his loss; his brother Aiman described him as kind and affectionate and looking forward to becoming an uncle. If anyone was at Culture Lounge that night or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
