Stephen Addison, a 32-year-old African American and former Fort Bragg soldier, was shot and killed on January 3, 2022, in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The shooting occurred during a road rage dispute at the intersection of Skibo and Cliffdale roads while Addison was riding his motorcycle; he was struck in the chest by a shot fired from a truck and later died at the hospital. He was a father of four and is remembered by family and friends as a kind, caring man.

The other motorist involved was identified as 51-year-old Roger Nobles. Nobles was charged with first-degree murder in connection with Addison’s death. The incident prompted discussion about whether hate crime allegations should be pursued given the racial dynamics, though the primary prosecution was for first-degree murder.
