Greensboro Arrest Made After Fatal Shooting on South Holden Road

Greensboro police investigators said they were called to the 2400 block of South Holden Road on the evening of December 10, 2025 and discovered 31 year old Travis Thompson suffering from at least one gunshot wound. Thompson was pronounced dead at the scene. Officers arrested a 26 year old man at the location and identified him as Corey Powell. Powell has been charged with first degree murder and is being held without bond.

Detectives indicated they are not seeking any additional suspects and described the investigation as ongoing. The arrest at the scene concluded the immediate search for other possible participants, and investigators continue to collect evidence, interview witnesses and review any available surveillance or forensic information as part of the case file.

The fatal shooting adds to local concerns about violent crime and public safety in Guilford County neighborhoods. Incidents of this nature affect residents directly by altering perceptions of safety, influencing patterns of civic engagement and shaping public debate over policing, community investments and local public safety policy. City and county officials who oversee public safety budgets and community programs may face renewed calls for both law enforcement resources and prevention measures that address underlying causes of violence.

For residents on and around South Holden Road the investigation is likely to generate increased attention to neighborhood security, and to questions about police transparency and responsiveness. Timely updates from law enforcement and the prosecutor can affect public trust and the willingness of witnesses to come forward. The case will proceed through the criminal justice system, where charges, evidence and any scheduled hearings will be handled by the Guilford County courts.

As the investigation continues, detectives are asking anyone with information to contact Greensboro police. Local leaders and community groups are likely to weigh this incident into broader conversations about public safety policy and community based responses in the weeks ahead.
