Taferious Traquail Cannady, 24, was found shot to death inside a vehicle on McGuire Drive off Perry Creek Road in Raleigh, North Carolina, on February 17, 2020. Cannady, also known as Zeus, and 27-year-old Teleah Janae Richmond were discovered together in the sedan late that night; a nearby resident reported hearing six or seven gunshots before finding the car with its running lights and brake lights on. Investigators covered the vehicle with a white sheet and had it towed for examination.

Police said a suspicious SUV had been parked in the area earlier that evening with someone repeatedly honking the horn. More than a year later, 26-year-old Leronte Ahkei Williams was arrested in Wake County and charged with two counts of murder; he was held without bond. The motive remains unclear. Cannady’s record included pending charges for aiding and abetting breaking and entering, resisting an officer, and possession of marijuana. Richmond had a prior conviction for accessory after the fact to assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, for which she served eight months.

Did anyone in the area see the suspicious SUV or hear the gunshots that night and not yet speak to investigators?
