On the evening of July 18, 2023, at about 9:50 p.m., deputies in Forsyth County responded to reports of a masked person walking along Kerner Road in Kernersville carrying a handgun. Additional calls shortly after reported gunfire in the same area. Deputies located a person matching the description who surrendered a firearm, and a subsequent search found 21-year-old Christian Lee Arrington of Greensboro suffering from a gunshot wound. Despite immediate life-saving efforts, Arrington died at the scene.

A 20-year-old, Quay’mon Nicholas Swaringen, was initially arrested and charged with murder and held without bond. As the probe continued, the district attorney dismissed the murder charge; Swaringen was later charged with felony discharging a weapon into an occupied dwelling and attempted armed robbery with a dangerous weapon and given a $50,000 secured bond. A week after Christian’s death, his 19-year-old sister, Briana Arrington, was also fatally shot in Greensboro; authorities say there is no indication the two incidents are related. The family postponed Christian’s funeral to hold a joint service for both siblings.

Does anyone have information about Christian’s movements in Kernersville that evening or saw activity along Kerner Road around 9:50 p.m. on July 18, 2023?
