Tyrek Burton Obituary, Death: Groom killed in front of bride and daughter just hours after wedding.
Tyrek Burton Obituary, Death – In a tragic incident, a North Carolina man was reportedly killed in front of his new wife and family just hours after his wedding. Tyrek Burton, 37, had celebrated his marriage to Kiara Holloway at the Barber Park Event Center in Greensboro on October 12. However, only seven hours later, he was fatally shot in what police believe to be a road rage incident.
According to Burton’s sister, Brittany, he initially left the park thinking Holloway had already headed home. But when she called to tell him she was still with family, he decided to turn around and rejoin them. During the U-turn, it appears Burton unknowingly cut off another driver, who then followed him back to the park. When Burton arrived, the stranger confronted him, accusing him of the traffic slight. The argument escalated quickly, and the stranger shot Burton in front of his new bride, one of his daughters, and other family members. The shooter fled the scene immediately after the incident.
Greensboro Police responded to the scene and found Burton bleeding in the parking lot shortly before 9 p.m. Despite attempts by first responders to save him, he was pronounced dead.
Burton and Holloway had been together for 16 years and shared four daughters. Reflecting on her brother’s personality, Brittany described him as a warm, friendly person whose smile could light up any room.
