On April 20, 2024, Elizabeth City, North Carolina, lost 39-year-old Cory Christopher Revelle to a fatal shooting. Around 2:00 a.m., an officer on foot patrol near the 200 block of North Poindexter Street heard multiple gunshots and found 33-year-old Bryan Christopher White at the scene armed. White did not drop his weapon when ordered, and the officer fired, striking White. Both Revelle and White were critically injured and taken to Sentara Albemarle Medical Center, where they were later pronounced dead.

Investigators say White allegedly shot Revelle multiple times before the officer’s intervention. A 17-year-old male from Perquimans County was also injured, treated for non-life-threatening wounds, and released. The Elizabeth City Police Department is investigating Revelle’s homicide while the State Bureau of Investigation reviews the officer-involved shooting. The district attorney later concluded the officer’s use of deadly force was justified and recommended the officer return to duty. Public viewings and memorial services have been held for Revelle.
