Aaron Jamel Downer, 26, was shot in the 1600 block of Piedmont Ridge Circle in Raleigh, North Carolina, on July 9, 2022. Police responded to reports of a shooting about 1:30 p.m.; officers found Downer with multiple gunshot wounds and he was taken to a hospital where he later died.

Investigators arrested 52-year-old Willie Edward Frederick and charged him with murder in connection with Downer’s death. A witness reportedly recorded video of the incident that shows a man walking and firing a gun, another man running toward him as if to intervene, and the armed man then leaving in a black vehicle. Police have not confirmed whether the person seen in the video is the individual in custody.

The shooting was one of several killings in Raleigh that week and drew renewed calls from community activists for greater attention to gun violence. Does anyone have information about what happened on Piedmont Ridge Circle that afternoon or about the video of the shooting?
