On November 18, 2024, 19-year-old Aminah Michelle Guy was found dead from gunshot wounds in a Cary, North Carolina, residence alongside her boyfriend, 19-year-old Xavier Neil Holton, and his mother, 54-year-old Erica Alyse Holton. The three victims were discovered by Erica Holton’s husband, Shawn Certain, who arrived home to find his wife and Aminah unresponsive and reported hearing two loud pops before his 911 call ended. Investigators determined the firearm used had been purchased recently by Xavier Holton, and the family had previously raised concerns about his mental health, though it is not clear whether that played a role in the deaths.

Aminah was remembered by family and community members as an honor roll student at Athens Drive High School with plans to attend North Carolina Central University. The Cary Police Department said there is no ongoing threat to the community and the investigation is active; no arrests or charges have been announced.

Does anyone with information about the residence, the victims, or the days leading up to November 18 have details to share?
