A couple’s wedding night turned “tragic” when the groom was shot to death in front of his bride, loved ones told news outlets.
Tyrek Burton, 37, was outside a North Carolina wedding venue when he was killed during a possible road-rage incident late Saturday, Oct. 12, the Greensboro Police Department wrote in a news release and told TV stations.
“It was supposed to be one of the happiest moments of his life, and it turned into something tragic,” the groom’s sister, Brittany Burton, told WGHP.
Police responded just before 9 p.m. to a reported shooting at an event center. At the scene, they found Tyrek Burton in the parking lot with life-threatening injuries. Crews worked to save the man, who later died, officers said.
“It was shocking,” Nysheria Holloway, his sister-in-law, told WRAL. “It was terrible.”
The groom had only been married to Holloway’s sister, Kiara, for about seven hours before his death, TV stations reported.
Relatives told news outlets that Burton left his reception for a short time before being followed by a driver who accused the groom of cutting him off. He was shot to death in front of his new wife, WXII reported.
Tyrek Burton is remembered in news reports as a hard-working father to four daughters. He had dated his wife for more than a decade.
“He was nothing but good and I demand justice,” Carolyn Burton, the groom’s mother, told WFMY. “I demand it. I don’t want to wait years for it. He doesn’t deserve what he got.”
As of Oct. 14, police said they were conducting a homicide investigation and didn’t share details about potential suspects. Officers ask anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 336-373-1000.
Police and Facebook users believed to be the groom’s mom and sister didn’t immediately share additional information with McClatchy News on Oct. 16.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
