It’s the nature of law enforcement work that officers never quite know what to expect when they go out on a call. That was certainly the case over the weekend when Guilford County sheriff’s deputies got a call and drove out to quiet a loud party disturbing the peace in the middle of the night.
They received a very serious update while on the way: Someone reported that there had been a shooting at the party.
The Guilford County Sheriff’s Office stated that, on Saturday, September 7, at about 2:30 a.m., deputies who were responding to a call about a boisterous party at 3205 Spring Mill Road in Greensboro learned, while on the way, that the shooting had taken place.
When they arrived, the deputies found the victim and identified him as 26-year-old Diondre Overton. Despite giving immediate medical aid, Overton was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the investigation suggests that this incident is isolated.
Currently, the case is an active and ongoing homicide investigation, and deputies want to speak with anyone who was at the party or who knows anything about the death of Overton.
Anyone with information or who went to the party is being encouraged to contact Guilford County Sheriff’s Office Detective J. Robertson at 336-641-5969.
If you want to remain anonymous, you can contact Guilford County Crime Stoppers at 336-373-1000.
Sadly these parties are posted online and numerous uninvited people show up. With bad attitudes and an over abundance of testosterone these young people are destined for such outcomes.
Overabundance of melanin too.
If you call crime stoppers, you just gave them your phone number. Prefix your call with “*67”, which will block your number ID.
This technique does not work when calling toll-free numbers, or 911.
I used to live on Spring Mill Road (1993-2002). Alma Adams used to be a neighbor.
It was a nice neighborhood before the trash moved in.
You are just asking for trouble when at 2:30 am you are partying and disturbing the neighborhood!, Alcohol, illegal guns, drugs, and jealous boy friends? Not a real good decision for all involved?
Give them all 2 guns and all the ammunition they want couple weeks we will have have the problem solved
