Jay Aaron Foust, 46, was shot to death in an alley at 407 North Mangum Street in Durham, North Carolina, at about 2:49 a.m. on May 21, 2019. He worked as a security guard for Allied Universal and was found in the alley after a passenger got out of a nearby dark-colored, older model truck and fired several shots before returning to the truck, which then drove away.

The suspect vehicle was identified as a black 1991 Ford F150 single cab pickup with tinted windows, distinctive rear-window stickers and faded paint on the top; its power steering pump reportedly made a loud whining noise. The shooter was described as a Black male with a thin to medium build, wearing a dark hoodie, jeans and light-colored shoes with white soles. The driver was believed to have dreadlocks. Investigators identified the last known person in possession of that truck as Darius Allen Jr., who had died in a traffic crash the previous year, but the truck itself has not been located and no arrests have been announced.

Foust’s sister Gina Berry and his fiancée Lisa Boyd have spoken publicly about their grief and frustration over the slow progress of the investigation. If anyone has information about the truck, the occupants, or the shooting, please come forward.
