On October 27, 2023, at about 10:15 p.m., Forsyth County deputies found 24-year-old Casey Ryan Goolsby of Walnut Cove in a Walkertown backyard on Cain Forest Drive with multiple gunshot wounds. Emergency responders attempted life-saving measures but Goolsby was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators say the shooting followed a confrontation between Goolsby and 23-year-old Tahlyk Neal of Walkertown, and warrants were issued charging Neal with murder, possession of a stolen motor vehicle, and fleeing to elude arrest.

Neal surrendered to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office on November 9, 2023, was taken into custody without incident and held without bond; an initial court appearance was set for November 10. Goolsby performed as a rapper known as Brazzy Red and is survived by his parents, siblings, and a three-month-old daughter, Mil’liana Cyn Dior Goolsby. A public viewing was November 3, 2023, with funeral services November 4 at Baileytown Christian Church in Walnut Cove.
