Zaeveon Hershel Tucker was 17 when he was shot and killed on October 29, 2019, in Durham, North Carolina. He had celebrated his 17th birthday a week earlier and was walking across Driver Street in front of Shepherd’s House United Methodist Church around 2 p.m. when individuals in a passing truck shot him in the back. He collapsed in the church’s front yard and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Durham Police released photos of two pickup trucks — a white Ford F150 utility truck and a green Dodge Ram — that were in the area. Investigators said the occupants were not considered suspects but might have witnessed the shooting or had information about the suspect vehicle. No arrests have been announced.

The killing occurred during a violent 25-hour period in Durham that included multiple shootings, and it prompted calls from local leaders and activists for stronger gun control and for residents to share information. What information about that afternoon might help investigators bring answers to Zaeveon’s family?
