On September 29, 2023, at about 10:00 p.m., Reverend Matthew Wayne Grant, 59, was shot and killed in the parking lot of Dudley High School in Greensboro, North Carolina, after a football game. Grant was an associate pastor at New Light Missionary Baptist Church, active in the community as an ambassador and choir member who regularly attended local high school games. A juvenile male also suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the same shooting. Investigators later said Grant was not the intended target but an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.

Greensboro police pursued an intensive investigation; on October 12, 2023 a 17-year-old was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and several weapons and assault counts, and on October 19, 2023 an 18-year-old, Amari Singletary, was arrested and charged with multiple felonies including first-degree murder. New Light Missionary Baptist Church held a celebration of life on October 14, 2023 and organized a fundraiser to help with funeral expenses as the community mourned.

Does anyone have information about Reverend Grant, the evening at Dudley High School, or witnesses who were nearby that night?
