Calvin James Alexander Jr., a 20-year-old African American male, tragically lost his life on March 26, 2015, in High Point, North Carolina. The incident occurred in the afternoon when Calvin was shot while riding in a vehicle near North Hoskins Street and Washington Street. He was transported to High Point Regional Hospital by a private vehicle, but unfortunately, he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
The motive behind the shooting was identified as robbery.
In connection with Calvin's death, a 16-year-old male named Joe Lewis Breeden was arrested and charged with murder. Breeden, also from High Point, was apprehended by U.S. Marshals the day after the incident. He was held in jail without bond as the investigation continued. The authorities urged anyone with information to come forward to assist in the ongoing investigation.
Further developments in the case revealed that three family members of Joe Lewis Breeden were accused of helping him after the homicide. Breeden's aunt, uncle, and a friend were charged with felony accessory after the fact. The police were also searching for Breeden's mother, who was believed to have been involved in covering up the crime. The involvement of these family members added another layer of complexity to the case, highlighting the challenges faced by law enforcement in bringing all responsible parties to justice.
