Aaron Michael Bailey, 25, was killed during a home invasion at the Cadence at RTP apartment complex in Durham, North Carolina, on February 19, 2022. Police say the attackers cut power to the building, kicked in the apartment door and forced entry. Once inside, Bailey was shot in the heart and died at the scene. His roommate, 25-year-old Elijah Hosea Everett, was also fatally shot; two other people in the apartment were wounded.

Bailey is described as a kind, family-oriented man who loved basketball, music and God. Durham police treated the incident as a pre-planned invasion. Three men — Robert Edward Everett Jr., 27; Jamonty Green, 27; and Raymond Lewis, 26 — were arrested on charges of murder, attempted murder and first-degree burglary and held without bond. The arrests were announced as part of an operation that led to multiple other arrests for drug and firearm offenses.
