Jabori Surles, a 22-year-old Black man, was shot multiple times and killed on June 27, 2021, around 6:15 a.m. on School Street in Fayetteville, North Carolina. He was pronounced dead at the scene; another man, 55-year-old James Ezra White Sr., was also shot multiple times but drove to Browns Lane where he was treated and released.

The Fayetteville Police Department launched a homicide investigation. On November 23, 2021, 24-year-old Damonte Emanuel Niquez Stewart was arrested in Augusta, Georgia, and extradited to North Carolina. Stewart was charged with first-degree murder, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill or inflict serious injury, and shooting into occupied property; during his first court appearance a judge advised him he could face the death penalty if convicted. Investigators reported a separate shooting on Browns Lane shortly after the School Street attack that involved the same suspect.

Anyone with information about the homicide is asked to contact investigators.
