Kendrick Rondell Gilbert, a 24-year-old African American male, was tragically killed on September 2, 2019, in Greensboro, North Carolina. The incident occurred during a home invasion at the Morehead Apartment Complex on West Market Street. Gilbert, along with his 24-year-old cousin Christopher Parson Jr., was shot and killed in what appeared to be a random act of gun violence. The two men were inside the residence when an unknown assailant entered and began shooting indiscriminately.
The Greensboro Police Department responded to the scene early that morning and found four gunshot victims. In addition to Gilbert and Parson Jr., a woman was critically injured but later stabilized, and a small child suffered minor injuries and was released after treatment at a local hospital. Despite the severity of the crime, no arrests have been made, and the case remains unsolved. The families of the victims continue to seek justice and have urged the community to come forward with any information that could help identify the perpetrator.
Kendrick Gilbert Sr., the father of Kendrick Rondell Gilbert, has been vocal about the impact of his son's death on their family. He believes the shooting was a random act and that neither his son nor his nephew knew their killer. The family has been actively involved in keeping the case in the public eye, distributing flyers and speaking to the media in hopes of finding leads. Greensboro Crime Stoppers has also been involved, encouraging anyone with information to come forward anonymously.
The investigation into the murders of Kendrick Rondell Gilbert and Christopher Parson Jr. has been ongoing for several years, with the police department still seeking strong leads. The community's reluctance to cooperate with law enforcement has been a significant challenge in solving the case. The families of the victims continue to hold events and advocate for justice, hoping that one day the perpetrator will be brought to justice.
