An East Guilford High School student was arrested Tuesday in connection with the shooting death of a security guard at a Greensboro grocery store.

Authorities responded to a Food Lion at 2316 E. Market Street at about 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 8 and found security guard Anthony Charles Smith, 51, with a single gunshot wound to the head. Smith was taken to a local hospital, where he died.

Williams’ bond had not been set Tuesday night.
