GREENSBORO, N.C. — A Greensboro man is wanted on first-degree murder charges for allegedly shooting a woman and hitting her with a car.
Detectives believe John Oiley Mitchell, 37, shot Tameka Ruth Minor, 39, and hit her with a vehicle before driving away. It happened Aug. 11 just before 2:00 a.m. at the intersection of Gillespie Street and E. Market Street.
Officers arrived at the scene in response to a report about a hit and run and possible assault, GPD officials said. When they arrived, officers found Minor had been shot multiple times.
Minor's cousin Felicia Mills said she was shot 9 times, though police have not confirmed that information.
"To shoot someone nine times, to run over them, that's heartless and to still be able to walk around look yourself in the mirror, I don't understand," Mills said.
Mills said she leaves behind two daughters, 13 and 20 years old.
"We don't know how to pick up the pieces, how to move on from here and we're just praying he gets caught sooner rather than later," she said. "As long as it's been now, it's unbelievable that he's still walking these streets."
GPD officials said the incident appeared to be domestic in nature and that Mitchell and Minor knew each other.
Mitchell has a lengthy criminal history according to the North Carolina Department of Public Safety.
"These babies are left here to try to figure out life without their mom," Mills stated. "I mean this monster has taken so much from us. He is a heartless person and I feel like it would be in everyone's best interest to get him off the streets."
Minor was taken to a local hospital where she died as a result of her injuries, GPD officials said.
But she fought for five long days before succumbing to her injuries.
"It's still, it's unreal. She fought for her life she's always been a fighter," Mills said of her cousin. "We were always close, she was amazing she was always a giver and had a hard time saying no."
Police are asking anyone with information about this incident or the whereabouts of John Mitchell is to contact Greensboro/Guilford Crime Stoppers at 336-373-1000.

Thoughts? I feel it is safe to reasonably assume Mitchell is still at large as of today's posting date (September 20th, 2020), since a post seeking his whereabouts is still pinned to the top of Greensboro/Guilford Crime Stoppers Facebook page (as of 9/20/2020): m.facebook.com/pg/GGCRIMESTOPPERS/posts/
