Syncere Kalif Burrell, an 18-year-old from Durham known as Macho, was killed on August 10, 2020. He was found unresponsive in the passenger seat of a Honda Accord on Lincoln Street near Linwood Avenue after a shots-fired call shortly after 4 p.m. The car had about 13 bullet holes, several on the driver’s side. Life-saving measures were taken but he was later pronounced dead at the hospital.

Investigators recovered roughly 15 shell casings and white paint chips at the scene. A relative who witnessed the shooting reported a white Honda sedan with a shattered rear driver-side window pulled up beside Syncere’s car; its occupants fired into the Accord and left. Police say Syncere was involved in a gang feud between the 900 block Main Street Crips and the Liberty Street Crips, and that online posts between rivals had escalated tensions.

A woman posted a video claiming responsibility then retracted it; police identified her and say she was at home with her mother, who confirmed the daughter was on probation, at the time of the shooting. No charges have been filed and the Durham Police Department is still seeking tips. Does anyone have information about the shooting or the vehicles involved?
