James David Currie, a 17-year-old African American male, was tragically shot to death on March 24, 2019, in Greensboro, North Carolina. The incident occurred around 10:40 p.m. on Montcastle Drive. James was a senior at Dudley High School, just months away from graduating. His untimely death has left his family and community in deep mourning.
James was described as a quiet, free-spirited individual who loved his family dearly.
He was a twin to his brother Jashawn Currie, who also attends Dudley High School, and had two sisters. The loss has been particularly hard on his twin brother, who has been struggling to cope with the tragedy.
The Greensboro Police Department has been investigating the case, but as of now, no arrests have been made. The police have urged anyone with information to come forward to help bring closure to the family. The community has been rallying for justice, with James' uncle, Samuel Currie, pleading for anyone with knowledge of the incident to speak up.
James' death is part of a troubling pattern of violence in the area. Earlier in the same month, another student, Sincere Davis, was also shot and killed. The community has been grappling with these losses, and grief counselors have been made available to students at Dudley High School.
The investigation into James David Currie's death is ongoing, and the family continues to seek answers and justice for their beloved son and brother.
