A Winston-Salem man pleaded guilty on Friday to second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of Greensboro Police Sgt. Philip Dale Nix.
Nix was off duty when he was killed in 2023 while trying to intervene in a crime he witnessed at a gas station.
Jamere Foster also pleaded guilty to robbery with a dangerous weapon. A judge sentenced Foster, and he’ll serve up to 389 months in prison.
The Nix family said in a statement that the outcome provides a measure of accountability and allows them to continue the process of healing.
Nix was with the Greensboro Police Department for 23 years.
