GREENSBORO – No charges will be filed in the fatal shooting of a 21-year-old man in north Greensboro in early June after prosecutors determined it happened in self defense.

Howard Neumann, Guilford County's chief assistant district attorney, said Friday he met with police this week to review their findings in the death of Rance Slaughter, who was fatally shot June 3.

Police have said Slaughter and two other men broke into a residence at Northwinds Apartments at 1373 Lees Chapel Road around 8:45 p.m.

Someone inside the apartment opened fire and in an official recording of a 911 call made from the apartment, a man said his “people” shot someone who kicked his door in.

Police arrested two other people related to the break-in that led up to the shooting.

Dominick Devon Williams, 23, of 120 Olde Salem Drive in Jamestown and Michael Anthony Mays, 24, of 4101 Pepperbush Drive were each charged with first-degree burglary and simple assault.

Mays was also charged with assaulting a government employee after allegedly throwing blood in an officer’s face.

Slaughter, a former football and track star at North Davidson High School, was enrolled at classes at GTCC and had aspirations of playing football at Wake Forest, according to friends.
