Alexander Keith Hairston, 20, of Garner, North Carolina, was shot and killed on December 19, 2020, in the parking lot of a Food Lion in Durham. He was a front-seat passenger in a Jeep whose driver had arranged to meet someone to trade guns. The suspects fled on foot.

Hairston’s friend drove to the front of the Food Lion and called 911 at 10:53 a.m.; police and EMS arrived and pronounced Hairston dead at 11:00 a.m. On March 18, 2021, Durham police and the U.S. Marshals arrested and charged Jonathan Winfred High Jr., 19, of Durham, with murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon; he was also charged with a probation violation and held without bond. Hairston’s friend does not appear to be charged. The investigation is ongoing.

Are there witnesses or nearby shoppers who remember seeing anything in that parking lot that morning?
