Passing of Sergeant Philip Dale Nix / Arrests made
GREENSBORO, NC (December 31, 2023) – Yesterday, the Greensboro Police Department lost one of our own.

We ask that all parties respect the family’s privacy in this difficult time and more information about donations to the family will be shared on our social media pages in the coming days.
Three suspects have been arrested in connection with Sergeant Nix’s death. Jamere Justice Foster, 18, Z’quriah Le’Pearce Blackwell, 18, and John Walter Morrison, 28.
