On June 28, 2023, a series of shootings in Greensboro and Kernersville, North Carolina, left three people dead, including 36-year-old Nathaniel Tyshawn Burt. The sequence began when 62-year-old Douglas Lane Gillie Jr. was found dead in his Bayberry Lane home in Greensboro. Soon after, officers responded to a shooting at the Hawthorne at the Meadows apartment complex in Kernersville where they exchanged gunfire with a suspect.

At the Kernersville scene two men, including Nathaniel Burt, and a woman were found with gunshot wounds. Both men died and the woman was taken to a hospital. Authorities identified 22-year-old Thomas Jackson Gillie as the suspect and said he was responsible for the death of Douglas Gillie Jr. in Greensboro and the subsequent shootings in Kernersville; he was arrested at the scene and charged with multiple counts, including first-degree murder and attempted murder, and is being held without bond. Family members described Burt as an innocent bystander.

A memorial service for Burt was held July 28, 2023, at The People’s Community Baptist Church in Silver Spring, Maryland. Does anyone have information about Nathaniel Burt’s movements that day or knew him personally?
