WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (WGHP) — A Forsyth County man was sentenced to 37 years in prison on Thursday after pleading guilty to multiple felonies, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. According to a press release, Tyree Ray Long, 28, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for possession of a firearm, 17 years for assault on a federal officer and 10 years for discharging a firearm on law enforcement. On Apr. 21, 2022, officers responded to a domestic disturbance in which a woman reported that her boyfriend, Long, shot at her and her daughter as they tried to drive away from their home after an argument. Long hit the car four times, but no one was injured. 18-year-old faces multiple charges in Carver High School parking lot shooting The following day, members of the U.S. Marshal's Service Fugitive Task Force went to a Winston-Salem hotel to serve Long with an arrest warrant, charging him with discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon and misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon with a minor present. Long was identified in the driver's seat of a Ford Fusion in a parking space when at least seven law enforcement cars blocked his exit. After he was given commands to show his hands, Long drove forward, striking at least two law enforcement cars, one of which was occupied by a U.S. Marshal. He then entered University Parkway Southbound and led officers on a three-mile chase through business and residential areas, including off-campus Wake Forest University student housing. During the chase, Long began shooting from the window of his car, firing at officers approximately ten times. 2 sentenced in 2022 killing of 17-year-old, Forsyth County court documents show The pursuit ended in a crash, and Long fired one round at an officer during a foot chase.
