Seventeen-year-old Zaequan Deloatch was shot and killed in Raleigh, North Carolina, on February 12, 2020. Officers found him with a gunshot wound in the 5400 block of Duckling Way just before 11 p.m.; he was taken to WakeMed Hospital and pronounced dead. Police believe he was shot on Rogers Farm Drive and ran to Duckling Way before being discovered.

Five days later investigators charged three people with murder: 18-year-old James Carlos Jarquin of Zebulon, 19-year-old Santiago Alejandro Pacheco of Wendell, and 21-year-old Trampus Malik Brodie of Knightdale. Jarquin was also charged with possession of a firearm by a felon. Detectives said evidence and witness statements, including a 911 call about a black SUV driving away with no lights on, contributed to the arrests. The motive remains unclear and police did not say whether the black SUV was connected to the killing.

If anyone knew Zaequan or saw activity around Rogers Farm Drive or Duckling Way on the night of February 12, 2020, please come forward with information.
