On November 4, 2023, at about 12:44 a.m. Greensboro police responded to a reported shooting in the 3000 block of Lawndale Drive. Officers found 41-year-old Ivy Gray and her 22-year-old daughter, Kaile McLean, with life-threatening gunshot wounds; both were taken to a hospital and died, prompting a homicide investigation.

Witnesses gave descriptions of a suspect and his vehicle. An officer spotted a matching vehicle near Cone Boulevard and Church Street and tried to stop it; the driver, identified as 28-year-old Justin Lyons, fled. The pursuit ended when Lyons lost control and struck a utility pole at Yanceyville Street and Rankin Road. He was arrested after being treated for non-life-threatening injuries and has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder. Police say they are not seeking additional suspects and have not publicly disclosed the relationship between Lyons and the victims.

Gray, known as Tink, was remembered for founding a business called TrapRose; funeral services for both women were held in Sanford, North Carolina. Does anyone have information about Ivy Gray or Kaile McLean that could help investigators or that would honor their memories?
