Greensboro Police Investigate Fatal Shooting; Contractor Surrenders License; Brixx Closes Triad Locations
Greensboro, NC – March 21, 2026 – A deadly shooting, a contractor license surrender, and restaurant closures lead this week’s local headlines.
It has been a busy and sobering week across Greensboro, with public safety, consumer concerns and business closures topping local headlines.
Fatal Shooting on Joseph McNeil Avenue
Greensboro police are investigating a deadly shooting on Joseph McNeil Avenue. Officers responded to reports of gunfire and found one person who later died from their injuries.
Investigators have not released many details about a suspect, and the case remains active. Police are asking anyone with information to come forward as they work to determine what led to the violence.
Contractor Surrenders License After Stalled Renovation
A Greensboro contractor has surrendered his license following a nearly two-year home renovation project that left a homeowner out more than $100,000 and without a completed house.
State licensing officials confirmed the surrender came after an investigation into the stalled $107,000 renovation. The homeowner said work slowed and eventually stopped, prompting complaints and a formal review. The case is a reminder for residents to verify credentials and monitor progress closely when taking on major home projects.
Brixx Wood Fired Pizza Closes Triad Locations
Brixx Wood Fired Pizza has permanently closed its Greensboro and Winston-Salem locations, part of a broader shutdown affecting the Triad.
The sudden closures have left customers and employees surprised. The restaurants had long operated in busy retail corridors and were popular gathering spots for families and after-work crowds. No detailed explanation for the closures has been released.
Property Tax Assessment Notices Going Out
Meanwhile, Guilford County property owners are receiving updated tax assessment notices this week. County officials say some homeowners may notice significant changes in assessed values as part of the latest revaluation cycle.
Residents who have questions about their new assessments or believe there is an error can contact the county tax office to review their valuation and learn about the appeals process.
