Davidson County, NC – A Davidson County man received life without parole after a jury convicted him in a 2022 Tyro community shooting that left one man dead and a woman injured.
According to the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office, the shooting occurred Sept. 18, 2022, at approximately 12:36 p.m. at a residence on Oakdale Lane in the Tyro community. Deputies responded after a 911 call reported gunfire at the home.
Authorities said the two victims were transported from the residence to the parking lot of West Davidson Village Shopping Center, 4705 Highway 150 South in Lexington, where emergency crews attempted lifesaving measures.
Tyler Burgwyn Brady, 28, of Gold Hill, succumbed to his injuries. A 29-year-old woman was transported to a local hospital and treated for nonlife-threatening injuries.
Investigators identified Curtis Lee Wall, 40, who allegedly fled before deputies arrived, as the suspect. Detectives with the Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division arrested Wall on charges of first-degree murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and felony assault.
On Wednesday, Feb. 19, 2026, a Davidson County Superior Court jury found Wall guilty of first-degree murder, assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle while in operation and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
He was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole for the murder conviction and a minimum of 310 months on the additional charges.
The case drew significant attention in the Tyro area and may resonate with young residents and commuters familiar with the Highway 150 corridor.
