GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) — Law enforcement spoke out and the victim’s family on Friday provided a statement after arrests were made in a four-year-old homicide.
Guilford County Sheriff’s Office held a news conference on Friday afternoon to discuss charges filed against Howard Hakeem Banks and Amari Alan Jackson, both 22, in the 2020 shooting death of Anthony Kristopher King, then 20.
Banks has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder and robbery with a dangerous weapon. The sheriff’s office says that Jackson, who is already incarcerated, will be served warrants for the same charges sometime soon.
Guilford County Sheriff Danny Rogers said he wanted to tell the community that when they or a loved one are a victim of violent crime, that they’ll always be working even if it feels as though they aren’t.
