Brendon Redfearn

Brendon Redfearn was an 18-year-old Black man from Greensboro, North Carolina. In the fall of 2021, his life was cut short by an act of gun violence that began one evening and ended a week later.

On the night of October 5, 2021, at approximately 10 p.m., police responded to reports of a shooting in the 4200 block of Kildare Drive, near Huffine Mill Road. When officers arrived, they found Brendon suffering from a serious gunshot wound. He was immediately transported to a local hospital for emergency medical care.

For a week, Brendon fought for his life. Tragically, he succumbed to his injuries and passed away on October 12, 2021. Following his death, the Greensboro Police Department launched a homicide investigation to find the person responsible.

The investigation continued for more than seven months before a breakthrough was announced. On May 19, 2022, authorities arrested 20-year-old Tyshon Abdulah Davis. He was charged with first-degree murder in connection with Brendon’s death. Following the arrest, the case entered the court system for litigation. The last reported development was in May 2022. Police have asked that anyone with information about the incident contact Greensboro/Guilford Crime Stoppers at 336-373-1000.
