Devonte Michael Hayes, 20, was found fatally shot inside a vacant building on East Devonshire Street in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on January 20, 2024. Police were called about a shooting at about 2:17 p.m.; Hayes had multiple gunshot wounds and died at the scene. An 18-year-old woman suffered minor injuries, and a 49-year-old man was later treated at a local hospital for non-life-threatening gunshot wounds tied to the same incident.

Investigators say Hayes knew the suspects, and that the shooting was not random. By late May 2024, four people had been arrested and charged with general murder in connection with Hayes’ death: 18-year-old Camren Mahki Poole, 23-year-old Danny Isaiah Gadberry, 18-year-old Nathan Elijah Bullard, and 27-year-old Uriel Mariche Hernandez. Authorities indicated they were not seeking additional suspects.

If anyone has information about Hayes, the arrests, or the events at East Devonshire Street that afternoon, please share what is known.
