Bobby Earl Lucas, a 56-year-old African American man, was found shot to death on August 7, 2020, near the Montecito West apartments along the 4100 block of Bland Road in Raleigh, North Carolina. Police responded to a shooting call about 3:15 a.m. and discovered Lucas with multiple gunshot wounds at a scene close to several restaurants and a grocery store.

Investigators later arrested 29-year-old Nicholas Dalton Nanes of Raleigh. Authorities charged him with the murder of Lucas and with the murder of Selvaraju Vellingiri, 55, of Cary, who was killed while walking on August 27, 2020. Nanes was arrested August 29, 2020, on a separate charge of possession of a firearm by a felon; he had a 2019 conviction for larceny of a motor vehicle and was released from jail in December 2019. Police said Nanes did not know Lucas prior to the shooting. The Raleigh and Cary police departments, the City-County Bureau of Investigation, and the Wake County District Attorney’s Office worked on the investigation.
