Greensboro police say officers responded to a reported shooting about 10 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 19 in the 1500 block of Woodmere Drive and found a woman suffering injuries. Investigators located and arrested the suspect the next day, and authorities charged 30-year-old Jalin Gainey on Feb. 20.

Booking records and police filings list three felony charges against Gainey: "assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury," "possession of a firearm by a felon," and "discharge of a firearm in city limits." He is being held on a $250,000 bond, according to the arrest record.

Online booking records also show Gainey faces a parole violation and has a pending parole hearing. Police located and arrested the suspect, Jalin Gainey, but authorities have not released details about where or how he was taken into custody.

Reports vary on the victim's immediate condition; several public accounts describe the woman as seriously injured. Her name and current medical status have not been released, and police officials say "Her condition has not been released."

Greensboro Police characterize the matter as an active criminal investigation. "The investigation remains ongoing," police sources report, and officials have not issued further comment on motive, weapon type, number of shots fired, or whether other suspects are being sought.

The incident occurred within Greensboro city limits in Guilford County and has been entered into local arrest and booking databases. The Guilford County Sheriff's Office provided an image associated with the case in publicly republished reports, and local television and online outlets flagged the $250,000 bond amount when reporting Gainey's Feb. 20 charges.

There is no magistrate complaint or arraignment date listed in the public summaries available so far; booking records confirm the charges and the parole flag but do not show a scheduled court appearance. Prosecutors or the Greensboro Police Department may release charging documents, court dates, or additional details as detectives complete the investigation.

Greensboro police are continuing to develop the case from the Feb. 19 incident on Woodmere Drive. Additional information about the victim's condition, the exact circumstances of the shooting, and forthcoming court proceedings is expected as investigators and prosecutors move forward.
