HIGH POINT, N.C. — We're learning more about what led up to a deadly home invasion in High Point.
Police said two people were kidnapped in Kernersville early Thursday morning. They said the suspects drove to High Point, broke into a home on Westdale Drive, and shot and killed a man inside the home. Police identified 27-year-old Kristian Tillman-Little as the man shot to death. Investigators found rifle casings at the scene.
Police said the two people who were kidnapped escaped from the car and began banging on doors, asking for help.
Police said there are multiple suspects on the loose.
Police said they believe the home was targeted and this was not a random act.
Neighbors are in shock over what happened. One neighbor we spoke with said she knows the people in the home to be very personable.
"Just very personable people - that’s why it’s such a shock. We walk around the block, bring the dogs around. They always talk and throw their hand up when they go by. It’s like we look out and know each other - it’s like a shock," neighbor Elizabeth Covington said.
High Point police captain Peter Abernathy said it's crucial that neighbors come forward with any information - no matter how small - to help them solve this crime.
"You’ve heard something or you believe your camera might’ve captured anything, we really encourage folks to go back and review," Abernathy said.
