4 charged in Greensboro fatal shooting, including 15-year-old suspect
Four people, including a 15-year-old, were charged in the June 9 killing of Jayden Jaquez Person at Ross Avenue and Pearson Street. Another shooting victim was hospitalized.
Greensboro police have charged four people in the fatal shooting of 25-year-old Jayden Jaquez Person, a case that left one man dead at a busy city intersection and another person wounded and taken to a hospital. The charges include first-degree murder, attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon and felony conspiracy, signaling investigators believe the shooting involved more than a random act of violence.
Officers, along with Greensboro Fire and Guilford County EMS, responded at about 11:28 a.m. June 9 to Ross Avenue and Pearson Street. Police found Person unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds. Despite life-saving efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene. Another victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment, and police have not released that person’s condition.
The suspects include an unnamed 15-year-old, who is charged with first-degree murder, attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon and felony conspiracy. Deneah Howze, 19, was charged with conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon. Latayshia Stewart, 36, was charged with accessory after the fact. Martavion Logan, 20, was also charged with first-degree murder, attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon and felony conspiracy.
Police said Logan was arrested in Danville, Virginia, on the day of the homicide and is awaiting extradition to North Carolina. Bond information was not available. The charges leave open key questions about what led to the shooting and whether the violence was targeted, retaliatory or tied to a broader pattern, but they do show investigators are treating the case as a coordinated crime involving robbery allegations.
Person’s death marked Greensboro’s 12th homicide of 2026, another grim milestone for a city already confronting repeated acts of gun violence. The case now moves into the court system with an adult defendant, a juvenile suspect and a charge that could split proceedings across different venues depending on how prosecutors handle the 15-year-old’s case. For neighbors near Ross Avenue and Pearson Street, the arrests offer some accountability, but they do not yet answer why the shooting happened or what risk remains in the area.
