A shooting in Burlington left one man dead and another injured, and police say they have no suspects as of yet.

The shooting happened just before 3:30 Wednesday morning following a dispute at the CV Mart on North Church Street. Police responded to reports of gunshots and arrived to see several cars fleeing the area.

A traffic stop of one of those cars revealed a passenger who had been shot. Twenty-four-year-old James T. Withers of Mebane was transferred to UNC Hospital where he’s currently listed in stable condition.

A second victim, twenty-six-year-old Willie Thompson, Jr., of Burlington, was dropped off at Alamance Regional Medical by an unknown driver. Thompson was pronounced dead upon arrival.

Police say they don’t know what sparked the shooting, or who else might have been involved. If you have any information, contact the Burlington Police Department at (336) 229-3503 or Burlington/Alamance Crimestoppers at (336) 229-7100.
