On the evening of May 11, 2023, officers responded to a reported shooting at the Tucker Street Apartments on Center Avenue in Burlington. Two people were found with gunshot wounds: 17-year-old Tymondre Womack and 26-year-old Jaleel Alston. Womack was pronounced dead at the scene; Alston was taken to a local hospital and later released.
