“GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) — Tyrek Burton, 37, was fatally shot outside his own wedding reception at Barber Park Events Center in Greensboro over the weekend.
Around 8:49 p.m. on Saturday, officers from the Greensboro Police Department responded to a shooting report at Barber Park Drive. When they arrived, they found Tyrek in the parking lot suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Emergency personnel administered life-saving efforts, but Tyrek died at the scene.
Family members say that he briefly left the venue and was followed by a man who accused him of cutting him off on the road when he came back. Witnesses say the suspect confronted Tyrek and demanded to know who had passed him at a nearby stop sign.
“Who was in the car? Who just passed him at the stop sign?” Brittany Burton said that her brother responded, “If I did, I’m sorry,” before the man opened fire, killing him in front of his new wife.
“My brother didn’t know this man at all, They never met. He didn’t ask him what his name was. They never shook hands. This was a complete random stranger, and he shot him in cold blood.” Brittany said.
The shooting has devastated Tyrek’s family, who are struggling to come to terms with the senseless loss.
“It was supposed to be one of the happiest moments of his life, and it turned into something tragic,” Brittany said.
The suspect fled the scene after the shooting, and police are continuing their investigation. No suspects have been identified, and authorities are still working to piece together the events that led to the violence.” – MyFox8 | Posted by Thrillz
