On January 8, 2024, at about 2:00 p.m., deputies in Forsyth County found 21-year-old Damilyon Raekwon Monroe lying at the intersection of Blue Bonnet Lane and Bridal Path in Clemmons, North Carolina, with multiple gunshot wounds including one to his abdomen. Deputies performed CPR until Forsyth County EMS arrived, but Monroe succumbed at the scene.

Authorities later arrested two 18-year-olds, Wiley Ywaskevic and Alexandra Patton, charging them with felony murder in connection with Monroe’s death; both were held without bond and scheduled to appear in court on January 10, 2024. Sheriff Bobby F. Kimbrough said the community and law enforcement worked together and that the arrests provided some closure for Monroe’s family.

Monroe, known as Dolla, was born September 13, 2003, in Winston-Salem and is survived by his parents, Tambra Parson and Donald Monroe, and a sister, Zamaria Monroe. A funeral service was held January 20, 2024, at Solid Rock Baptist Church in High Point. Does anyone have information about what led to the shooting or who witnessed events at Blue Bonnet Lane and Bridal Path?
