WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. —
A 23-year-old man has been arrested and charged with murder in connection with the shooting death of a man in Winston-Salem, police said Tuesday.
The Winston-Salem Police Department identified the suspect as Quadir Damarion Cullins. He was taken into custody Monday by the U.S. Marshals Service in the 4600 block of Mercury Drive in Greensboro.
Cullins is accused of killing Jaylin Amir White, 21, who was shot Nov. 7 in the 100 block of Hanes Mall Circle.
Police said investigators determined the shooting stemmed from a gambling dispute and was not a random act of violence.
White was found suffering from a gunshot wound after officers responded to the area around 3:40 p.m. Saturday. EMS took him to a local medical center, where he later died.
Following the investigation and consultation with Forsyth County District Attorney Jim O’Neill, detectives obtained a warrant charging Cullins with murder.
Cullins is being held in the Forsyth County Detention Center without bond. He is scheduled to appear in court Nov. 12.
The investigation remains ongoing. Police are asking anyone with information to contact the department at 336-773-7700 or Crime Stoppers at 336-727-2800.
