GREENSBORO — When a dream wedding becomes a nightmare. Law enforcement officials in Greensboro, North Carolina are investigating after 37-year-old Tyrek Burton was murdered on his wedding day. The homicide transpired around 9 p.m. on October 12, 2024 during his reception at the Barber Park Event Center. According to police reports, 7 hours after saying “I do,” Tyrek got into his car and headed home. But, after realizing he left his lovely bride behind, Tyrek made a U-turn to pick her up. In doing so, he cut off a man at a stop sign — sparking a vicious bout of road rage. The driver followed Tyrek to the community center and an altercation broke out in the parking lot. “He made a U-turn and I guess didn’t see somebody,” Tyrek’s sister, Brittany Burton, told reporters. “That person followed him back to the park.” Moments later, the motorist pulled out a gun and emptied the clip — striking Tyrek 15 times in front of his wife and several spectators. Then he hopped in his car and sped off.

“This was at a public park, and there were multiple eyewitnesses, including one of his daughters, and it was done in front of his wife,” Brittany recounted. Paramedics arrived to effectuate life support. But it was to no avail. Tyrek died at the scene, which means his bride became a wife and widow on the same day. Ain’t thata bitch? “We were having the time of our lives and it’s like in the blink of an eye, it was all just stolen away from us,” Brittany bemoaned. “He was one of the coolest people I know. Could walk into a room and that smile.”

Tyrek and his bride had been together 16 years prior to tying the knot.

They share four daughters.

Social media reaction was fierce.

One commenter wrote, “Over road rage??? Are you f*cking serious???”

Another chimed in with, “That’s why I’m getting married at the courthouse. He waited 16 years to marry her just to die on their wedding day? Wow!”

A third person added, “People think that we are dumb. Something else went wrong here, and the sister is not telling the truth.”

  3. Totally off topic but, we as a community need to stop using go fund me for burial payment. Invest in a life insurance. Its $25 bucks a month. Keep up with those payments and you won’t need to beg for funds to bury loved ones.

  4. He wasn’t that nice running his mouth in a road rage it’s a lot more to this story no one going to blow you away for nothing.

  5. @Dianne Nelson: I don’t think their is more to this story. People these days are so emotionally unstable that shooting someone over a road rage incident is not surprising whether it’s 1 or 15 times. It never should’ve happened. People getting ki)(ed over 5 dollars now. We just have to put it in our head that their are some very evil people in this world.
