A2 May 30, 2019 The Chronicle Shooting From page Al dence have led detectives to determine that some of the same individuals were involved in the trio of shootings. “Detectives believe these events stem from an ongoing dispute between these individuals and a willingness to harm any bystanders present in an effort to harm one anoth er,” continued Thompson. “Despite the expenditure of hundreds of investiga tive man-hours, detectives have found few witnesses or victims willing to coop erate with these investiga tions.” Thompson said on the night of the incident on Cody Drive, an estimated 300 people were in the vi ¬ cinity when shots rang out, but only two were willing to talk with investigators. She said, “Witnesses, vic tims and others have to be willing to come forward and sit down face-to-face with a detective to honest ly provide first-hand eye- witness accounts of what occurred for these crimes to be solved successfully. “The agency I com mand is willing to dedicate every resource we have to solving these investiga tions and of equal impor tance, to try to ensure that these events not continue to occur in Winston-Sa lem. We will work around the clock and will leave no stone unturned, but we cannot do it alone.” Forsyth County Dis trict Attorney Jim O’Neil, Sheriff Bobby Kimbrough, Jason Walsh with the Bu reau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Pastor Tembila Covington, President of the Ministers’ Conference of Winston- Salem and Vicinity, Rev. Alvin Carlisle, President of the Winston-Salem NAACP, and several other representatives from other local organizations urged those with information to come forward. Sheriff Kimbrough, who was bom and raised in Winston-Salem, said he is saddened by the incidents that have transpired in his hometown over the past few weeks.
