Good morning, Greensboro.

Greensboro police said 34-year-old Marc Schmitt died at 12:40 p.m. on West Friendly Avenue when a minivan crossing from Lindley Lane struck his Harley—no charges were filed and investigators are still probing the crash.

Old Dominion Freight Line’s president Kevin Freeman earned $12.62 million in total compensation for fiscal 2024 as his base and incentive pay increased despite a 4.3% drop in net income to $1.19 billion.

The company will hold its shareholder meeting at Grandover Resort in Greensboro on May 21 at 10 a.m. — a proposal for greenhouse gas reduction targets is on the ballot — with the board opposing the measure.

Opsun Systems Inc. announced it will open a new 54,000-square-foot manufacturing facility at 772 Gallimore Dairy Road in High Point as it invests $17 million and creates 32 jobs.

The facility will serve as a nationwide distribution center for its solar products, with the project supported by performance-based incentives including a $40,000 grant and additional funding from the city and county.

Governor Josh Stein announced the state is offering up to $25,000 for information that leads to arrests and convictions in three unsolved murder cases—14-year-old Jakaylen Chambers was fatally shot in Greensboro in February 2022, 49-year-old John Boone was shot in High Point in January 2022, and 52-year-old Nancy Grubert-Harvey was found dead in Lexington in January 2013.

Kaleb Gatlin, a high school senior at New Garden Friends School, donated over 500 pairs of brand-new sneakers to Title I Sumner Elementary in Greensboro—he raised over $17,000 with help from the Chris Paul Family Foundation and nonprofit Shoes That Fit to ensure every student received proper footwear, and he plans to pursue teaching when he starts classes at UNC Charlotte this fall.

UNC system reports showed that UNCG’s first-year full-time students achieved an 88.5% performance score, boosted by higher credit completion and increased retention since Fall 2021—efforts that also lowered student debt while reducing failing grades and withdrawals—driving better outcomes for students. Dr. Andrew Hamilton credited fast changes like summer course reboots, new pedagogy training and revised academic policies for this success.

Gov. Josh Stein visited Winston-Salem yesterday to praise the city’s growth and warn that tariffs may hurt North Carolina families and businesses — he noted that rising building costs could slow home rebuilding and harm crop exports.
