Jamestown woman charged with attempted murder in High Point hit-and-run
A Jamestown woman faces attempted murder charges after investigators said she hit a person in High Point and drove off, leaving serious injuries. Records give different dates and locations for the crash.
A Jamestown woman is facing attempted first-degree murder and felony hit-and-run charges after investigators said a person was struck by a car in High Point and left in the roadway with serious injuries. Jiriyah Danice Thomas, 24, was arrested and denied bond, turning what could have been treated as a traffic crash into one of Guilford County’s most serious criminal cases.
The case has two date-and-location descriptions tied to it. One account says the crash happened June 2 on West Green Drive, where the victim was reportedly hit and left behind. A warrant in Guilford County District Court says Thomas drove into Anterrya Harris on May 28 in the 900 block of Green Drive, then left the scene despite knowing the crash caused serious injury.
That detail matters because hit-and-run cases with serious injuries are not handled as simple traffic offenses. In North Carolina, first-degree murder is classified as a Class A felony and covers willful, deliberate and premeditated killings, which shows how severe the state treats conduct that prosecutors believe crosses into intentional violence. An attempted first-degree murder charge in a vehicle case signals that investigators believe the alleged driving went far beyond careless conduct.
The public-safety stakes are especially sharp in High Point, where police say crash and incident reports can take 48 to 72 hours to appear online. The department also directs hit-and-run tips to its investigator at 336-883-3224, a reminder that these cases often rely on witnesses, nearby drivers and anyone who saw the vehicle or the scene before officers arrived.
High Point police have also been pressing hit-and-run enforcement in a separate fatal investigation involving a 5-year-old boy, underscoring how active traffic investigators have been on these cases. For Guilford County residents, the Thomas case stands out because it combines a violent felony charge, a serious alleged injury and a driver accused of leaving the victim without help.
