High Point police investigate unspecified incident, details still pending

High Point police were investigating an unspecified incident Sunday, and officials had not yet released the location, the nature of the call or whether anyone was hurt. The department’s next update will matter for residents trying to separate a routine report from a more serious emergency response.

The uncertainty comes after several separate violent incidents in High Point in recent days. In one case, officers responded around 10:45 p.m. Wednesday, April 30, to Hidden Creek Terrace, where they found 22-year-old Jeremiah Dallas of High Point shot in the front yard. Police later said Dallas died from his injuries and that another man was shot inside the house and taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Investigators said that shooting appeared to be targeted.

A second shooting near Manor Drive came just before 10 p.m. Thursday, April 30, near the Jamestown Parkway area. Police said one victim was taken to a hospital and that the incident was isolated, with no ongoing threat to the public. The close timing of the two shootings kept attention on how quickly separate calls can ripple through neighborhoods from Hidden Creek Terrace to the streets near Jamestown Parkway.

Police also recently arrested Travis Watson, 31, after multiple 911 calls about an argument near East Green Drive and Smith Street. Officers said Watson was armed with a handgun and a hatchet, and one officer was treated for minor injuries. Together with the shooting investigations, the case has added to a stretch of high-stakes calls for the High Point Police Department across Guilford County.

Residents checking for the latest official details can turn to the city’s Police to Citizen system, where incident and crash reports are posted publicly. High Point police say many reports take 48 to 72 hours to appear. The city’s police-report page also points residents to online records and crime-mapping tools, which can help confirm whether a call has been logged and whether a report has been filed. In a week marked by multiple armed encounters and two separate shootings, those official records may be the first clear sign of what happened next.
