Sharease Haley, a 24-year-old African American woman, was tragically shot and killed on November 30, 2017, in Greensboro, North Carolina. The incident occurred at her home on Woodbriar Avenue, where she lived with her partner, Derek Brown Sr., a 25-year-old African American man. Both victims were found with gunshot wounds when police arrived at the scene around 11:16 PM.
The couple had two young children, aged one and three, who were present in the home at the time of the shooting but
were unharmed. The children were subsequently placed in the care of other family members. The police believe that the perpetrator was someone known to the victims, as there were no signs of forced entry, and the nature of the crime suggested a personal motive.
The investigation into the double homicide is ongoing, with no arrests made or suspects identified at the time of the reports. The tragic deaths of Sharease Haley and Derek Brown Sr. marked the 40th and 41st homicides in Greensboro for the year 2017, setting a new record for the city. The community has been deeply affected by the loss, and the police continue to seek information from the public to help solve the case.
