ASHEVILLE — Three months after an Arden man died from a gunshot wound in Mission Hospital on Nov. 29, newly-released documents from the North Carolina medical examiner reveal more details into what led to his death.
Jeremy Greer, 41, was a passenger in a vehicle when a disagreement with someone else in the car escalated, and his fellow passenger shot him in the chest, according to his death investigation and autopsy reports obtained by the Citizen Times.
Law enforcement’s preliminary investigation revealed that Greer had been living with his father in Ashe County for a month before his dad drove him to Boone on Nov. 27 or Nov. 28 to meet up with the person suspected of shooting him, who then drove Greer to Asheville.
Greer was staying in the suspected shooter’s home, and on Nov. 29, Greer rode with the man and his girlfriend to pick up a roommate from work. Greer then asked to be dropped off at an empty retail store parking lot in South Asheville, according to the death investigation report.
