Ainzargul Totakhil, a 40-year-old Afghan refugee and recent U.S. citizen, was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting on December 30, 2022, in Durham, North Carolina. His body was found in his car on Holloway Street with multiple gunshot wounds. Totakhil was working as an Uber driver at the time; he supported a wife, seven children, and a child on the way, and his family had been moving to the United States to join him.

Investigators have not made any arrests and describe the case as cold; police have asked the public for information. The family, who have since moved to Durham, filed a lawsuit against Uber seeking compensation and received community support including a GoFundMe that raised nearly $70,000. Totakhil’s cousin, Yousaf Mangal, also a former translator for U.S. troops, has spoken about the family’s shock and hardship.

Does anyone in Durham remember seeing Totakhil or his vehicle on Holloway Street around December 30, 2022, or have information that could help resolve this case?
