On September 28, 2023, at about 2:15 a.m., officers answered a report of an assault with a deadly weapon at 204 Westdale Drive in High Point, North Carolina. Inside the home they found 27-year-old Kristian Tillman-Little dead of multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators say the episode began as a kidnapping in another jurisdiction; those victims escaped, went to neighbors in the Westdale Drive area, and during the ensuing events someone entered Tillman-Little’s residence. That home invasion and robbery ended with his fatal shooting.

On October 4, 2023, 21-year-old Zyicoren Antonio Little of High Point was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, first-degree kidnapping, and first-degree burglary in connection with the case. Authorities say Little was out on bond on a separate murder charge at the time. Family members have spoken publicly about their grief and questioned the earlier decision to release the suspect on bond. High Point Police continue to seek any additional suspects or information related to what happened that night.

If anyone in the Westdale Drive area or who knew Kristian has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
