Jeremiah Tobias Dixon, a 19-year-old African American man from Durham, North Carolina, was shot and killed on June 14, 2022. The shooting happened on U.S. Highway 15-501 near Pickett Road at about 8:30 p.m. Dixon was driving northbound when shots were fired from another vehicle traveling in the same direction; he was found shot inside his car and pronounced dead at the scene. The roadway was closed for several hours while police investigated.

Durham police said the shooting was not random and was not linked to road rage but did not disclose further details about the motive. In August 2022 authorities charged 19-year-old Nicolas Martin of Durham and a 17-year-old male with first-degree murder; Martin was held without bond and the juvenile was placed in a juvenile detention facility. The family declined to speak with media, and police urged anyone with information to contact Investigator M. Adams or Crime Stoppers.

Does anyone have information about Dixon’s movements that evening or saw vehicles matching that description on U.S. Highway 15-501 near Pickett Road?
