John Neese Sr. was a 51-year-old business owner in Greensboro, North Carolina. He was the owner of Wire Products Company, which operated out of a building on West Lee Street in the city.

On the afternoon of May 2, 1990, Mr. Neese was found critically wounded inside his office. He had been shot during what investigators believed was a robbery attempt. Emergency services were called to the scene, and he was immediately transported for medical care.

Mr. Neese was taken to N.C. Baptist Hospital, where he fought for his life for a full week. Despite the efforts of medical staff, his injuries were too severe. He succumbed to them and passed away on May 9, 1990.

The Greensboro Police Department has investigated the case for decades, but no arrests have ever been made. The identity of the person or persons responsible for the fatal shooting remains unknown. As of May 1990, the homicide of John Neese Sr. is unsolved, and investigators continue to seek any information that could provide a new lead and bring justice to his family.
