Mahkhi Bynum, 24, a Black male, was killed by gunfire in Littleton, North Carolina, on August 26, 2025. Public records place the shooting on Little Drive in a residential part of town. Online memorials created shortly after his death identify him by name and date, and list Littleton as the location where he was lost to gun violence.
Local coverage referenced by those memorials reported that Littleton Police requested assistance from the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation and that the case was treated as a homicide investigation. While the full text of that article is not publicly mirrored, multiple listings point to the same report noting that state agents joined local officers in the inquiry.
In the weeks that followed, no law-enforcement notices or regional news briefings surfaced announcing an arrest, a named suspect, or the filing of criminal charges connected to Bynum’s killing. Incident registries that catalog gun homicides in the United States record the event and its address, but likewise contain no suspect information. As of October 23, 2025, the publicly available record reflects an active investigation with no arrests disclosed.
Obituary notices published by funeral providers in the Roanoke Rapids–Halifax County area confirm his identity and age and set the date of his death as late August 2025. Those remembrances describe a young man rooted in eastern North Carolina, remembered by family and friends, and memorialized locally after his killing.
