Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police under undisclosed circumstances

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On February 22, 2025, in Henderson, North Carolina, a Vance County sheriff's deputy shot and killed Johnny Mayfield during a traffic stop shortly before noon near West Young Avenue and Hargrove Street. Mayfield shot was transported to a hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. The Vance County Sheriff's Office has confirmed the shooting but has not released detailed information about the circumstances.

According to ABC11, the deceased has been identified by his girlfriend, Mae Bullock, as Johnny Mayfield. Mae, who is seven months pregnant with their son, recounted that they were en route to WakeMed Hospital due to her pregnancy pains when they were pulled over on Highway 1 in Vance County. During the stop, officers discovered that Johnny had active warrants. Mae stated that Johnny fled on foot, then returned to the vehicle and drove off, leaving her behind. The pursuit continued back to Henderson, where Johnny exited the car and was subsequently shot by deputies. Mae emphasized that Johnny was unarmed during the incident.

Neighbors in the area expressed concern over the use of lethal force, questioning the necessity of the shooting given that Johnny was reportedly unarmed. Mae acknowledged Johnny's past legal issues but did not understand why the situation escalated to a fatal shooting. Court records indicate that Johnny had missed court dates in Johnston and Person Counties, which may have led to the issuance of the warrants.
