The High Point community is mourning the tragic loss of William R. Dockery, a 70-year-old man whose life was taken in a suspected homicide, while Antolvio Ayuso, 45, of High Point, has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with his death. The heartbreaking incident has left William’s family, friends, and neighbors devastated as they search for answers and remember the life of a man who was taken far too soon.
The case began Friday evening when officers with the High Point Police Department responded to a report of trouble in the 1200 block of Carter Street. When authorities arrived, they discovered William unconscious in a backyard suffering from traumatic injuries. Despite the efforts of first responders, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
