In the early hours of February 11, 2023, Winston-Salem police found 25-year-old Jose Angel Mariche Cadena with a gunshot wound in the 2700 block of Eastwood Drive. Emergency Medical Services pronounced Cadena dead at the scene after life-saving efforts.

Police say Cadena had been involved in an argument with an acquaintance, 26-year-old Genri Sanchez Cisneros, and that Cisneros allegedly shot Cadena. Cisneros was taken into custody later that morning by the Winston-Salem Police Department’s SWAT Team and charged with murder; he was being held without bond with a first court appearance scheduled for February 13, 2023. The killing was reported as the city’s 10th homicide of 2023, up from eight at the same point in 2022.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the Winston-Salem Police Department or Crime Stoppers.
