Bertin Vasquez Mendoza, 26, was shot and killed on January 1, 2019, in the 2000 block of House Avenue in Durham, North Carolina. Mendoza and 24-year-old Murilio Zurito Domingo were found dead outside; both deaths were treated as homicides and investigated as a double shooting that same day.

Durham police identified two suspects. Jose Manuel Vargas-Regino, 20, was charged with two counts of murder and was reported as not in custody at the time of the report. Jonathan Cabrera, 18, was charged with two counts of accessory after the fact of murder and was released on a $50,000 bond. The investigation was active and police asked the public for information.

This shooting was one of multiple violent incidents in Durham on New Year’s Day, including another deadly shooting earlier that day at Alden Place Apartments. Does anyone have information about Mendoza’s last known movements or who might have been with him that night?
