Tresor Shukura, 20, a Black/African American male from High Point, stepped into the late-summer evening of September 1, 2025, along the 800 block of East Lexington Avenue as the daylight thinned to streetlights. Around 9:30 p.m., police were called to an assault with a deadly weapon. Officers arrived to find Tresor Shukura, 20, a male, in the roadway with a gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Detectives quickly described the killing as an isolated incident, saying there was no broader threat to the community, and noted it was the city’s fourth homicide of the year.
In the hours that followed, investigators learned that an 18-year-old man had arrived at a local hospital by private vehicle with gunshot wounds. Detectives with the Violent Crimes Unit identified that wounded teenager as the suspect. Based on witness statements and evidence, police concluded that an argument had erupted between acquaintances and that the suspect shot Tresor Shukura, 20, a male, during that confrontation on East Lexington Avenue.
Within two days, once he was released from medical care, officers arrested Obed Ndizihiwe, 18, and charged him with first-degree murder in the death of Tresor Shukura, 20, a male. Authorities said he was booked into the Guilford County Jail in High Point under no bond. Police reiterated that all involved parties had been identified and that additional charges could be filed if appropriate as the investigation continued.
As details settled into the record—the time just after dusk, the address on East Lexington Avenue, the argument between acquaintances—the portrait of Tresor Shukura, 20, a male, was left to the silence of the street where he fell. Community memorial pages marked the date of loss as September 1, 2025, while police records anchored the facts: a quick response, a life ended in the road, and a suspect in custody on a murder charge.
