ASHEVILLE, N.C. Residents Restless After Shooting at Artisan at Biltmore Park
Tension continues at the Artisan at Biltmore Park post a shooting incident on July 7. A woman remains critically injured in hospital after being shot in the head while Gregory Holden was found dead in his apartment from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Resident Dustin Wingate recounted the gruesome aftermath as he returned home after police had secured the property. “There was still blood everywhere, his dentures were laid out, the gauze used for cleaning was scattered. There were blood prints leading to the bathroom…They merely pressure-washed it into the grass,” said Wingate.
Wingate observed a cleanup crew on the afternoon of July 8 but expressed dissatisfaction at the lack of communication from management. “I don’t feel safe living in a place where there’s no communication,” he stated.
