Randy Lee Hargraves Jr., a 28-year-old African American male, was tragically murdered on October 9, 2020, in Greensboro, North Carolina. Hargraves, along with Key-Shawn Cooley, was operating a party bus company called Clipper Gang Elite Transportation. On the night of the incident, the party bus was traveling from Durham to Charlotte when a shootout occurred on Interstate 85 in Guilford County.
The Guilford County Sheriff's Office reported that the bus began swerving and blocking lanes of traffic before gunfire erupted.
The shooter, identified as Tyquan Jhaniek Harris, was also injured in the incident and was taken to a nearby hospital in serious condition. Harris, who was later arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder, had rented the party bus for the night. The motive behind the shooting remains unclear, and the investigation is ongoing.

The community has rallied around the family, with a GoFundMe campaign set up to help cover funeral expenses and support the family during this difficult time.
